"A better New Orleans...with even more gambling?"

I gotta tell ya, I almost understand the desire to bring in more casinos - take advantage of the void left by the destruction of Biloxi's gaming boats. And it would certainly be a quick way to create new revenue for the city so they could shore up those levees. But I don't see it as the ideal fix. I would rather New Orleans hold out for the true economic expansion that will come with industries that have real growth potential.

And I have a chip on my shoulder since Harrah's renigged on their deal with the city a few years back. That really burned me. I don't trust the gamimg industry anymore.

I don't like the gaming either. I do see why Nagin wants it. The city must be bankrupt by now. They need money fast I guess.

I think Nagin knows if everyone sits back and thinks, many won't want to rebuild. Or will decide it is too expensive.
