In a press release issued today, Overland Ward 4 Council Member Les Dills called for an end to the senior utility tax rebate program. In the short statement that came with the announcement, Les Dills claimed that Overland's Senior Citizens were only using that money for gambling.

"What started out as a good program to court the votes of those over 65", explained Council Member Dills, "has become a windfall for Harrah's. It is for that reason that I am calling for the mayor and city council to eliminate the utility tax rebates from the next fiscal year budget."

Mayor MT Schneider could not be reached for comment or opinion.
