New Concept Video for the Cleveland Casino!

Ted Stricland names casino control comission.

Looks like Vanessa Whiting (Attorney), Charles Saxbe (Attorney), Maggie Ostrowski (Spokeswoman for Senate President Bill Harris), Joe Rugola (President of the AFL-CIO), William Kirkham (another Attorney), Jerry Chabler (Previously on Ohio's racing commission and lottery commission), Michael Bolte (Retired Cincinatti Police Officer), and Greta Russell (Accountant serving as controller for Ohio State University)

Some could be rejected, but as of right now it looks as if these are the picks-
