Gambling is a bad deal for taxpayers

The gambling interests like to point to the construction jobs, but those jobs go away

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

While gambling addiction can be a social justice reason for some to ban gambling, the economic evidence suggests that the social and economic costs of gambling are $3 to the taxpayers for every $1 in benefits

An Osage tribal study found that between $41 million to $50 million left a 50-mile radius around their own casino

My bottom line is this is no time to be gambling with our economy

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