Attaching your state revenues to gambling is crazy. What will happen is that more deficits will be run.
The sensible thing is to stay the hell away from gambling as a state enterprise.
The other states getting Texas’ citizen’s money thank you for being so tunnel visioned.
How will keeping more money in your state have Texas running more deficits pray tell? You have absolutely NO right, as a supposed conservative, to be dictating to anyone how they want to spend their money. Playing a game for money is absolutely NONE of your business. Your own sense of “morality” is your concern and it is CERTAINLY not appropriate for a state to be legislating a game. How is anyone playing a game harming you in the slightest? Good grief. Let’s just legislate everything possible!
