Lives in limbo at Turning Stone
VERONA - Candy Smith is in limbo.
Smith, like nearly 4,000 other workers and their families, is waiting to learn a federal agency could shut down her employer, the Oneida Indian Nation's Turning Stone casino.
“This is how I feed my children. This is how I pay my bills,” said Smith, 39, a single mother of two from Rome, who landed a job - complete with benefits and a 401k plan - as a drink server at the casino nine years ago after working most of her life as a bartender and waitress.
