Guam Greyhound Race Park owner John Baldwin and Committee for Responsible Gaming chairman E.J. Calvo, the day after their after their Prop  A ballot initiative for casino gaming failed, thanked their supporters for their work and effort.  Baldwin says that this would likely be the last attempt at a gaming initiative.

He told KUAM News, "I believe it's time for us to move on to other things.  I love Guam, I love the people of Guam, we've had a great time we're having a great time and we have other things we're doing.  But I think initiatives are not very much fun, so I don't think we want to do this anymore."  The entrepreneur says he is still considering other investment opportunities that have been pitched to him.  He's invested in the Cafe Havana project and says he's looking at other restaurant ideas, the possibility of an IMAX theater, as well as developing a pair of buildings along Marine Corps Drive in Tamuning.

As for Calvo, he too, expresses his appreciation to their supporters.  "I want to thank all of the supporters who came out for the last few months and stood strong with us while we moved forward with this platform with this visionary idea," he shared, not 24 hours after the concept to legalize casino gaming at Greyhound was voted down 59% to 41%.  

Calvo also apologized to those who attended the job fair Guam Greyhound held on Monday, noting that those positions were contingent upon the passage of Prop A.  

Baldwin says he now has to decide what to do with his company, admitting quite frankly that the business in its current structure loses about $100,000 a month, strongly hinting at serious changes to come at the race park.
