THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:

The state recently reached an agreement with the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe under which the state will not place a new casino in the North Country and the tribe will pay the state $30 million owed under the previous agreement, plus 25 percent of future gambling revenues. Of the $30 million, St. Lawrence County will receive $3.75 million. St. Lawrence County will also receive 6.25 percent of future revenues. Do you think the new agreement or a new casino would be a better source of revenue for St. Lawrence County?

Take the NCNow Survey. Due to the holiday deadline, results will be posted Monday, June 03.

LAST WEEK'S QUESTION:

The long-delayed Farm Bill has been approved by both the U.S. Senate and House agricultural committees with several million dollars in cuts to the Food Stamp program, now called SNAP, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Do you think a cut to the Food Stamp program will be detrimental to St. Lawrence County residents in need?
