Gaming Board Orders Trustee for Mt. Airy Casino

Anthony F. Ceddia, a former president of Shippensburg University and a former bank director, has been named as trustee for Mount Airy Casino Resort until owner Louis DeNaples’ legal troubles are resolved.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, over DeNaples’ objections, voted today to put Ceddia at the helm of the facility in Paradise Township, Monroe County.

Ceddia was president at Shippensburg from 1981 through 2005, according to Forbes.com. He’s been a director at Orrstown Financial Services Inc., Shippensburg, the Web site says.


How Gain Pennsylvanian's Trust

Good first step. Unfortunately, many Pennsylvanias have been disgusted with the gambling bill and the gambling board from day one.

The bigger question is: how can they gain people’s trust in the system, to know that someone is not putting their finger on the scales?

Or not gain Pennsylvanian's trust

It’s interesting to note who Ceddia gave campaign contributions. Check out PA Dept. of State and do a search.

Why does Harrisburg have to be like six degrees of Kevin Bacon?

Political Nepotism

Welcome to Pennsylvania, where political nepotism is institutionalized.

Really?

I went to the PA Dept of State and did search on his contributions. Ceddia never gave more than $500 to a campaign, there are only 10 contributions listed from 1995 to present, and most of the contributions were in the neighborhood of $100. Sorry, I don’t think that’s enough money to influence much…
