Yes it is great news, now if the folks in Ohio would get it together and vote in casinos!!!!!
HA!
Do you realize how ass-backwards Ohio is when it comes to gambling? First and foremost.. think of the Pete Rose story. but that's a whole different issue.. I guess
I've been an Ohio resident my entire life.. .growing up in Cleveland and living most of my life there until just recently moving. Despite Cleveland being one of the poorest cities in America... with one of the worst job markets they still won't legalize gambling.
They still sell lottery tickets and they still have racetracks... hmm...
Every time it's come on the ballot I hear the same anti-gambling talking points. Usually geared toward "casinos bring up crime."
Bullshit. Poverty brings up crime. Desperation brings up crime. Seeing how poor Cleveland is the crime rate will go up regardless.
Now install a casino and people can get jobs..and better paying ones than working at the local BP station.
Just ask the residents of Lawrenceburg, IN how their city has changed since Argosy opened. I rest my case.
