“Who said the state would be owning and managing casinos?”

The bill?

“As a Texan and a conservative I’ll spend my money any way I choose but I’m interested in how you think I should spend it.”

I personally don’t believe I have any right to regulate how you choose to spend your money. At present it’s not particularly difficult to gamble privately.

I do have a problem with Casinos. The state has a right to regulate the operation of businesses within their jurisdiction. At present that means no casinos. I support that stand, and I’ll vote against any public option to permit the building of casinos within Texas.

You have no right to take my money and use it for publicly funded Casino construction, just because it would benefit your recreational habits.
