Going to plan devil's advocate for a minute. Why is the state getting money such a good thing? Its not like that money is going to any of us, so how do we know it won't just be pissed away? With these casinos we'll need more roads, more maintenance, more police, more more more. So how much money is left after we clean up the mess the casino brings in? Now we have a bigger, more costly government, and nothing in our pockets to show for it.
