If you think proximity to casino gambling won't snare kids, won't take money from the state lotteries, won't drain money from local businesses, won't lessen savings, won't lure some of those who now ignore casinos, won't bring in new corruption and "cooked books," I believe you are very naive.
Back in the 1950s, a co-worker of mine never got a paycheck at work because he'd gamble it away, so the courts decided his wife would come in and get it. That probably couldn't happen now, but we can keep casinos out of our state.
Gambling can be as addictive as smoking and we don't aid and abet that.
