If James A. Traficant Jr. somehow gets an Indian gambling casino in North Jackson, a Warren contractor said he wants to build the possible indoor amusement park that could go along with it.
John J. Bartko, president of Exclusive Product Industry Corp., said today he’s “never built anything like” an indoor amusement park, but it shouldn’t be hard.
“I’ve built a lot of stuff,” such as churches, post offices, libraries and school additions, Bartko said.
Most of the materials, such as the dome on the indoor park, would be prefabricated and easy to put together, he said.
The contractor said he had no idea how big the potential park would be.
“I don’t know the details of the contract,” Bartko said.
Bartko said he’s had conversations with Traficant about building the park. But the two don’t have a written — or even a verbal — agreement for the project, Bartko said.
“I really don’t care if I do the project or not to be honest with you,” he said.

"I really don’t care if I do the project or not to be honest with you,"
Now what kindof a comment is that ?
Fascinating article. The guy has never built anything like this before, but has built a lot of other "stuff". He has no contract and doesn't really care if he gets the project or not. Where do they find these people?
They come to us.
No I'm not a real Contractor --I can build it cuz I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night --ha ha sorry couldn't resist..
Anyone ever hear of this guy? Guess need to reseach him.
I believe that they make high end eco add ons for housing .

Was this article really worth anyones time? I guess the guy just wanted to see his name in the paper.
Oh yeah,I can build anything,especially for a guy who wears bellbottoms in 2010.
What's next...a blimp factory.....brewery...????
Halloween is nearly here and so are all the strange people. Be careful who you may hire around this time of year.
Hey..I'll build it! Hire me I'm an artist
Why not rebuild Idora Park instead?
@Hmm, that was funny!
@YSUGRAD, because unfortunately Idora park is smack dab in the middle of a cess pool. Admission would be getting robbed as you walk through the gate.
The Vindy's approach to journalism continues to be "make the story undermine Traficant" with articles about near nothing except random quotes.
Vote Traficant ...or lose again with your Dems and Reps.
Traficant will disappear after the election and his indian casino project with him.
skolnick,
So, just because someone comes to the Vindicator, you will print the story? Ever think of asking some questions and investigating this guy. I have worked in the commercial construction industry for over 25 years and have never heard of this outfit. This type of contract would be large and I doubt if this guy could get bonded for it.
As for Jimbo, I will be glad when election day is over. Maybe, and we can only hope, that he will crawl back into whatever hole he emerged from so many years ago. He is a community embarassment and this latest snake-oil scheme isn't even worth talking about as it will never happen.
Look around washington and see if your unfulfilled hopes for a political solution can be realize by just about anybody worrking the tax-dollar without scrutiny. I still like Jim. He is AMERICA'S CONGRESSMAN. gO-O-O-O-O Jimbo!
