Heaven forbid the Indians should actually improve Buffalo, and it’s economy! I will say a prayer, for Buffalo AND for the Seneca Nation. They are good people.

Gambling is NOT a good thing because there is no product.
Buffalo needs industry not gambling.

The Oneidas took their Bingo enterprise in Verona, NY (outside of Utica Rome Area) and turned it into The Turning Stone Casino with stage talent appearances we never had the opportunity to see in Central NY and a payroll (good wages) and growing. Hotels, two lounges a Pro gulf course and more. In lieu of property taxes, the Oneidas contract for fire protection and generously give to local school districts and other local concerns.
The payback? Constant court fighting and threats to shut down by the state. Oh did I mention cigarettes and gas without state sales tax?

You must be getting paid to say things like this.
The Indians and their casinos create poverty and destroy local economies. There are a multitude of examples, if you care to look.
In addition to that, they increase vice related crime in every location.
