You do realize that most of the casinos in Vegas are run by only a few individuals/corporations, don’t you?
I can appreciate that, my fellow Ohioan. :-)
Sheesh! Another pol pissing and moaning ‘cuz he did’nt get “his” cut....
Let me repeat, Voinoivich and the Ohio Roundtable do not want ANY type of gambling in this state.
That's quite alright by me, because I get free rooms and meals in Vegas. Stuff it, you stuffy people.
It doesn’t matter that other states aren’t honest enough to simply make gambling legal.
There is no reason Ohio should follow their lead.
I’ll not vote for any law that grants special gambling privilege to others.
Personally, I don’t see any reason for states to be controlling gambling in the first place. Seems like if I feel like playing poker at Uncle Joe’s Bar & Grill, then it really isn’t anyone else’s business.
I didn’t vote for the smoking law either. In fact, I’ll not vote for any ridiculous changes to the state constitution that involve thousands and thousands of added words. Do you remember the election with 5 of 6 constitutional changes each involved thousands of words.
I didn’t vote for any of them.
I don’t give a fig how much Las Vegas makes at gambling since if it involves the by law enriching of a limited number of people or cities.
It is simple to propose a fair law. It should say simply:
“Gambling shall be legal in the State of Ohio”
Now, if you don’t belive in nanny states, then you’ll support those simple 9 words above. If you do believe in nanny states then you’ll support the nanny telling us which 4 or 5 citizens out of millions that it’s going to let run gambling.
Nanny, isn’t just telling us what to eat, it’s telling it who we have to go to to get the food.
“Gambling shall be legal in the State of Ohio”
I’m with you 100%!!!
If only the simplest solutions would ever be possible. :-)
It’s time for US AND OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS to get spines.
So anything that constitutes “temptation” should be banned by law? So much for liberty, huh?
