Issue Six, Casino's in Ohio.

So once again they some how got a vote going for Legalizing Casino's in Ohio. Hopefully this time around people will vote yes. In my own opinion I like the idea of going to the casino that is paying tax dollars to Ohio, not to Indiana.

Currently I would say I go to the Casino once a month with my buddies. We take no more than we can loose, and is normally $60 to $100. We plan on loosing the money when we walk in the front door. Just like as if we were to walk into Dave and Busters, or any local bar. I do not drink much, so a bar does not appeal to me. I love Dave and Busters ever now and then it's just farther away from home. My point is a Casino is another form of entertainment. When you plan on spending money on entertainment you don't plan on having the chance to win money back.

Reasons to vote yes on letting casino's build in Ohio are many just as reason as not to let them build. The biggest reason I would vote yes on a casino is because it would put one possible closer to home, and help out Ohio rather than Indiana which is where Argosy is. It is no more than 20 minutes away from myself, and most of Cincinnati. Putting one in Cincinnati would eliminate some of the people driving over to Indiana for their gambling. And putting some Tax dollars into the local government. People say Casino brings crime. With a Casino 20 minutes away I wouldn't know of the crime it brings. But with the crime it also brings more jobs on the police force. Weak argument probably but it is true that if crime is on a rise it will effect the funding on hiring new police officers, paramedics, and fire fighters.

May these be good or bad arguments they are how I feel about a Casino. I suggest that you take a look and make your own decision. There is always two sides to just about everything, good and bad. You just have to decide which ones are worth taking the risk of.

In other news today Congress voted down the bailout and Stocks dropped large amounts. This should be interesting to watch unfold onto our country as we know it. This is probably going to effect the middle class more than any previous blows.

God Speed,
