Casinos have McFall s number in New Orleans
Attention, gamblers: This week's Pulse is for you.
First, check this out: Elections Supervisor Ann McFall has a bit of an adventurous streak. McFall vacationed recently in New Orleans, where she said she likes to go for good food and gambling.
She wouldn't say how much she won or lost. But the casino apparently likes her a lot.
"Let me put it this way -- Harrah's sends me coupons for free stuff all the time," said the longtime politico and mom of Deltona Commissioner Michele McFall-Conte. "I just got a coupon for a three-day, two-night stay next time I come out."
Living on the edge
Apparently, Deltona Mayor Dennis Mulder is a gambler, too.
He told Pulse he frequents casinos in locales such as Atlantic City, N.J., and the Bahamas mostly to play blackjack.
"Politicians probably live on the edge a little," he said.
Peacock feathers or not?
Speaking of card games, the controversy about a horse track and poker room proposed for DeBary continues.
In May, City Council member Chris Carson told us it would be a great opportunity and there "ain't going to be dancing girls dressed up like peacocks or any of that stuff."
But that's exactly the sort of person who would move into DeBary, according to a recent political mailer from some folks who oppose the horse track. (It's the work of the Committee for Open Government, a group created by people behind the Daytona Beach Kennel Club, another racing and poker facility that could face competition if the DeBary card room were to open.)
The mailer suggests the horse track would bring traffic nightmares, spontaneous environmental destruction and feather-clad dance-hall girls with sassy looks.
Artist is Republican of Year
In nongambling news, Deltona resident Lloyd Marcus recently was named Republican of the Year by the Volusia GOP. Marcus is a singer, writer and artist who often lends his artistic talents for political causes.
Yes, you say, but where else do you know his name from? Well, it was Marcus whose religious-themed paintings Deltona tried to block from display in City Hall in 2006. One lawsuit later, they were back on the walls.
Many choices in primary
Mark your calendar for Aug. 26. That's primary day, when the crowded races in the county will be whittled down in preparation for the general election in November.
On the ballot will be the District 2 County Council race, which has attracted six candidates. Voters also will choose among three candidates for Group 2 of the Soil Water Conservation District and four eager to sit in Seat 1, Group A of the West Volusia Hospital Authority. Oak Hill voters will have three options for Commission Seat 4.
Yankee Lake Project
Thirsty for water information? Check out sharedwaterworks.com. Seminole County's government launched the Web site about the Yankee Lake Project, a proposal to suck drinking water from the St. Johns River. Volusia County may look to the project for its own water needs.
