Harrah's denies rumors
BILOXI, Mississippi – As reported by the Pawtucket Times: "Swatting down reports that Harrah's Entertainment is backing away from plans to develop a planned casino in Biloxi, Mississippi, senior Vice President Jan Jones said Thursday the company is committed to its project in West Warwick as well as the one in Biloxi.
"A front-page story in the Biloxi Sun Herald, e-mailed to local reporters by RDW Group, the public relations firm for the anti-casino group, Save Our State (SOS), said Harrah's is 'backpedaling on, or at the very least delaying, its commitment to build a world-class casino resort.'
"…In the conference call that was the basis of the Sun Herald story, Jones said, Harrah's CEO Gary Loveman 'didn't say we were pulling out, he said we were changing the time schedule.'…"
