Casino deserved front-page display

The May 4 story, 'Riverside CEO's link to Lamberti draws scrutiny,” should have been front-page news. You could have sold more papers, if this is truly the goal of a business such as yours. The impact of votes that could possibly have been swayed was not a big deal to the paper in our hometown? Votes that could have added many good things to our community? The Gazette didn't think that was news enough for the front page? Wow!
I'm tired of hearing my sister talk about the good things they get for the Iowa community of Washington (new gymnasium for high school, every kid in grade school has a new computer and so on).
If there was a wrong done against Cedar Rapids in regard to the casino, I would like to see it on the front page. I believe all other news in this regard was on the front page in the past. It makes me wonder if The Gazette, too, is swayed by Dan Kehl and Jeff Lamberti.
