The Gamblers Never Sleep

Monroe-The Monroe Downtown Development group currently run by city employee Myra Gatling held a triple-secret meeting yesterday, June 18, 2009 at Wayne Williamson's Office, WilStaff. Revealed at the meeting was a revised plan by Wayne Williamson, devoted member of First Baptist Church of West Monroe, to bring a gambling boat to Monroe. This time it's the Isle of Capris from Shreveport. During the meeting Mr. Williamson, who is reportedly mending fences with his current wife, stated flatly that every elected official was in favor of his idea except State Senator Bob Kostelka. Williamson said also that he planned to have the legislation that exempted the Ouachita River from the list of navigable waterways in Louisiana and written by former Speaker of the House Jim Dimos declared unconstitutional. That would lower the flood gates so to speak for high stakes gambling in Monroe.
