[QUOTE="Brian Renville, post: 159681, member: 256"] Probably quite a few charities nervous at the thought. Baseball/hockey, American Legions, VFW, scholarships, etc. would be game over. To think the state would pony up the difference to them is laughable. Also to think casino revenue would result in tax breaks is also pretty far-fetched. Once government has its hands in it it's going to be dealt out in pork and that's what's left after everyone gets their cut on the way down. It would be hard to even compare gambling revenue with what has come out of the oilfield and how many tax breaks has that resulted in? Also would that mean casino employees would be state employees? A casino that runs like the DMV sounds like a drag. [/QUOTE]
