If people want to gamble, let them gamble. There are always so many who will flame a casino supporter on this site.

I have many friends that are employed by the casino's and although it may not be 11,000 and only 7,000, think of all the jobs it did temporarily create durring the construction.

You cannot deny the fact that the casino's contribute to the tax base of the city and without that money the city would be in a much worse place.

I support the casino's but I also gamble responsibly. Getting mad at the casino's for people who have lost everything due to a gambling problem is like getting mad at the corner liquor store for all the drunks in the neighborhood. At least the casino's offer help to people with gambling problems.
