[QUOTE="Brian Renville, post: 159755, member: 256"] I guess I wouldn't mind private ownership, they pay taxes to the state like anyone else. State ownership just doesn't work, the idea of going to a customer service industry establishment staffed by government employees is pretty laughable. We think employees on the res act like they don't give a shit, try ones that have to go on administrative leave and have 10 people go through reports before they can be fired. At the end of they day the effect on small towns and small programs who live on charitable gaming would be a beating that imo would outweigh the risk. As a (sort of) comparison Montana has gaming in every little town on the map(as well as Native casinos) and they all pay the state a percentage. Montana's taxes are still higher than ND's, no sales tax yes but apparently gaming does't begin to cut it. Be careful with a government that loves to spend money and says it needs more, ND is relatively recent in that regard but boy it sure looks like that has become and been accepted as the norm.
