Lies, Lies, Lies
Lies are the biggest turn off for me. And that’s all I hear in this anti gambling campaign.
So I had to laugh when I was Mary Withrow saying it was all paid for by out-of-state casinos that don’t want to lose money they currently get from Ohioans traveling to them.
Well, so casinos are bad for Ohio? 38 states have them, including all of them that border Ohio. And with the exception of Michigan, all of them are doing better economically (and Michigan is largely because of Detroit). Not too bad for them.
And what is this cash doesn’t count stuff? The proposal says Ohio casinos pay taxes on gross receipts, nothing about cash. And my favorite is when they say the issue “won’t create 34,000 jobs at any one time.” Well yeah, the proposal is predicted to create 34,000 jobs over time, not at one time. Lies, lies, lies.
I can’t wait for the election to be over.
Your Buckeye, John Kazalia.
