rep. casio o CASINO?
"Casio is hopeful that a compromise measure is being offered to simply ban the naming of public properties, public services and government programs after incumbent public official and their immediate relatives.
"This would, at least, put a stop to one of the most despised practices of political dynasties. Clearly, it is immoral and unethical for any incumbent official to name government properties, services or programs, financed by taxpayers money after himself/herself or his/her immediate relatives, Casio said."
