The casinos are walking out of states with at least $1 billion in their pockets to Las Vegas

State-sponsored gambling produces no product, no new wealth, and so it makes no genuine contribution to economic development

Taxpayers would likely be responsible for treating addicts

Sociologists almost uniformly report that increased gambling activities, which are promoted as sociologically 'acceptable' and which are made 'accessible' to larger numbers of people will increase the number of pathological gamblers

Lotteries boost state revenues in the short run but don't feed the economy in the long run

When the money is not spent on cars and refrigerators and is instead dropped into a slot machine, it leaves the economy

I would hate to see the state of Wisconsin make another mistake and locate another casino in a high-density population area
