There is surplus office building space close to subway stations that could be converted to casino use.

Because all the money will go to “education.” Casinos good; tariffs bad.

pure profit for the house, keeps the locals poor, and a kickback to the local politicians.

Common plot on many tv shows.

Just another way to secretly tax the weak and the poor.

I’d like to say more, but I’ve got to run down to the store and get some scratch-off lottery tickets.

In all seriousness, there’s nothing wrong with visiting a casino if you first set a reasonable loss limit, and stick to it. But how many visitors actually stick to that limit?

They are looking for new sources of tax revenue? The state will certainly take their cut, of any casino action.

A broke electorate tends to vote blue.

Casinos in such locations are designed to take taxpayer money via gambling addicts getting social services money.
