    Gaming company enhances its offer By Martin Van Der Werf
    A rowdy group of supporters, many of them members of the carpenters union, held signs and cheered loudly for the Pinnacle project.

    'We want work,' said Terry Nelson, the executive secretary of the Carpenters Council of Greater St. Louis & Vicinity. 'This particular Pinnacle proposal will generate millions of man-hours for my members.'

    The Pinnacle plan picked up the support of state Rep. Pat Yaeger, D-South County. She said the casino would have an annual economic impact of about $28 million and would clean up the badly polluted area.
