Casiano, a @stationcasinos worker gives public comment at NV Governor's Office of Economic Development meeting with @governorsandoval. My name is Casiano. I work at Palace Station. I live here in Las Vegas with my family. My understanding is that you have a goal of building an economy that is fair. And that this office shapes the economic agenda for Nevada. So when the owners of Station Casinos announced a five-hundred million dollar investment fund, I hope you see this as an opportunity. We have already delivered comments about Fertitta Capital to a Clark County business development council as well as at the State Board of Finance. So I’m grateful to have the opportunity today to raise this issue with you. The fund run by Fertitta Capital could invest in technology and companies that could help Las Vegas and Nevada. Fertitta Capital could invest to ensure an economy that is fair, and they could invest in businesses that make sure economic development in Nevada moves our community forward. I assume you think five-hundred million dollars is a lot of money. It sure seems like a lot to me. At Palace Station, where I work, we see millions going into construction projects. And we hear about how successful the owners of Palace Station are. I think the company can afford investment because the team-members make it a successful company. I think the owners of Palace Station can afford to make a five-hundred-million-dollar investment fund because of our hard work. So that’s why it’s important to me that you contact Fertitta Capital. I want these dollars to stay in our community. I want Fertitta Capital dollars to go back to the communities that Station Casinos depends on. #FertittaCapital #DiversifyNV.
