Utah sells itself to Fortune 500 companies as a noncasino state where employers don't have to be concerned about absenteeism and other problems associated with gambling

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

Besides creating more compulsive gamblers, money spent on lotteries isn't spent on other goods such as clothing or computers, which would trickle through to retailers, manufacturers and other parts of the economy

People will spend a tremendous amount of money in casinos, money they normally would spend on refrigerators or a new car. Local businesses will suffer because they'll lose consumer dollars to casinos.

A shrinking economy means lost sales and lost jobs

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

And as far as jobs go, for every one job that the casino creates, one is lost in the 35-mile feeder market
