KMT business gone

Taipei Times - archives: "t is worth mentioning, however, that the majority of residents of Baisha Township (白沙) and Siyu Township (西嶼) — the designated Penghu special casino zones — voted in favor of the casino proposal. Voter turnout was only around 40 percent, with the number of dissenting votes only about 4,000 higher than those who approved the plan. As such, if local residents ever weakened their opposition to gambling, business interests could make a comeback anytime. The Referendum Act stipulates that another vote on the same subject cannot be held for at least three years. That means the KMT and businesses can stage another fight three years from now."
