Jacob objects to "tax farming," using casinos to supply revenue from a few citizens, rather than having us all pay our fair share. A resident of Philadelphia for 46 years, he also recalls taking "long walks along the riverfront, and imaging what could be done with it, thinking what a jewel the city has here." A box-store casino and one of the largest surface parking lots in the city is not what he had in mind.
