Since he didn’t sit Courtside (he chose to sit quietly in a Suite), and his picture was not broadcast on the QTube, few Cavs fans knew that Lebron James’ St.Vincent-St. Mary High School Coach was in attendance to witness his former State Champion take on the Philadelphia 76ers.

Before the game, Coach Dru Joyce was the Keynote Speaker at the Rebounders (Official Cleveland Cavalier Booster Club) Chalk Talk Dinner. Many children, STVSTM fans, Cavs Legend Barry Clemens, and longtime Cavalier fans packed into a Quicken Loans Arena Level Two Suite to hear the Coach speak, take pictures with him, ask him questions, and to get his autograph on various items ranging from jackets, T-Shirts, Rise Up! Towels, LeBron memorabilia, and copies of “Shooting Star” books.

I am voting YES on Issue 3 today, because I am a native Clevelander who believes that a First Class Casino (which will include Five Star Restaurants and a Top of The Line Concert Venue) will be a good thing for my city. Additionally, I am in favor of keeping a billion dollars in my state of Ohio, creating 34,000 new jobs in this state; providing 1 million in new revenue for local schools; bringing 6 billion in immediate economic impact to my state; and providing 2 million in new revenue for local government.  

Furthermore, as a Sports Fan, I am voting Yes on Issue 3 today because I am an avid Cleveland Cavalier Fanatic! I love all the great things that Dan Gilbert has done with the Cavs Organization. During his tenure as owner he has consistently appeared in the Playoffs, including an NBA Finals run. And, I love the fact that he takes time out of his busy schedule to personally thank Cavalier fans for their support. He is most definitely a Man of the People, who genuinely cares about all of employees, and is committed to excellence and Humanitarianism.  Additionally, I  love the Brand, and the Culture which all of his businesses represent.

When I look at all of the success that Dan Gilbert has achieved in the corporate world, given his strong track record, strong leadership ability (and his high level of education and business savvy), he has proven himself to be capable of running a Casino which will provide an economic boost to the city of Cleveland. Therefore, I will vote yes on the strength of this man's excellent name, his vision, his passion, and his commitment to turning my city around.
