Any word on the G'Burg deal to allow slots?

Ed Rendell - more gambling and higher taxes...

[cinives]

over the coming years as they begin to see their property taxes reduced dramatically

And if you believe that one ...

Indian casinos will rip you off--even more than The Donald and his bunch.

Hundreds of gamblers - mostly senior citizens - poured into the casino as the doors were opened and occupied most of its nearly 1,100 seats in less than 10 minutes.

So seniors have enough disposable income to piss it away on slot machines yet we get to fund their "health care". Just great.

Oh great! Now people can throw more money away on useless entertainment instead of helping our economy and saving jobs? If people would stop supporting the gambling industry and spent that money on their kids education, or a new car(american) or bought some durable goods made in America- we would have the strongest economy and best future ever.

The state plans to use gambling revenues to cut taxes for homeowners

Assuming the information given here is accurate, here's the math. If all twelve parlors do as well as they predict, which I doubt, annual property tax relief will average about 35 dollars per household. Yippeeeee!. Fat Eddie Rendell promised he would eliminate property taxes through gambling revenue when he ran for governor four years ago. Excuse me while I gag.

Vote out Santorum.
Bring in the slots.

Tells you what you need to know about the direction Pennsylvania is going.

...the slots parlor projects it will gross $230 per machine, per day...

That is, most likely, the projected net, the "gross" should be about 10 times that amount.

Not satisfied with one-arm bandits in polling booths only on election day, the Ds open casinos 24/7.

[Gabz]

I can hear the screaming now from Delaware. Slots venues in Delaware rely very heavily on players from Pennsylvania (and Maryland) and this is going to hurt, and hurt big time.

The stupid fat pig in the Governor's office was warned it was only a matter of time before they openned in PA, but she wouldn't listen. Why the people of Delaware keep electing the same jerks over and over is beyond me.
