St. Tammany Parish residents will vote next month whether or not to approve the Camellia Bay Casino Resort.
Opponents say the casino will be a low-end operation that will hurt the poor, drive up crime, and harm the local quality of life. Representatives for the casino claim that the dire warnings of the opposition are the result of misinformation from the competing Mississippi gaming community.
The election takes place on December 11.
