“I’m very disappointed with the Detroit City Council and the Wayne County Board of Commissioners’ decision to get involved and pass resolutions opposing a casino that is 200 miles across the state,” said Bumstead, R-Newaygo. “Muskegon County is not included in the defined competitive market area of any of three tribal casinos within a two-hour drive, so there is no logical reason why Detroit and Wayne County would be opposed to a casino in our community.”
The THM region comprises nine hospitals and numerous clinics, among them St Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor, St Joseph Mercy Grand Rapids and Mercy Health Muskegon.
