Issue 3 in Ohio

Is is for us?  


I feel a compelling duty to talk about this issue because there's a lot of propaganda going around that looks as if it's going to catch Ohioans with their pants down.

I know we are in the middle of a recession and that jobs in Ohio aren't plentiful. 

But casino jobs are not REAL jobs. 

They WILL take jobs from local small business owners.  Please take 6 minutes and watch this video on TruthPac.org.

Folks, I know we're all hurtin' right now.  But I believe we have to take a look at the LONG TERM moral, ethical and economic implications of having the casino industry in our home state. 

I was at Seneca two months ago.  The town is decrepid around the casino.  It is NOT a place to call home, and is not a place of bustling commerce.  It is only a tourist trap.

I lived in New Jersey for two years and went to Atlantic City a few times.  It IS run down and is not a place commerce. 

I was in Las Vegas two weeks ago.  While the strip is fantastic and Vegas is adult-style Disneyland, there is a dark side to the town.  Personal bankruptcy, divorce, and alcoholism rates are amongst the highest in the country there. 

Casinos are fun.  No doubt.  They're great because you don't have phones, TV, fax machines, pagers or bosses demanding your attention...and you don't have a schedule to follow.  They are a haven for stressed out or lonely/bored adults who've got a few bucks to blow.

There in lies the trap.

Casinos don't get built on winners money. 

The exist because of nice people (like us MidWesterners) who willingly part with their hard-earned money in order to escape the doldrums of a less-than-spectacular life in the MidWest without oceans and beaches and skyscrapers.

Don't be fooled by the commercials. 

One year ago the F.O.P. was AGAINST casinos.  What made them change their tune?    

First.  It's the F.O.P. of Columbus and Cincinnati running those ads, not Youngstown. 

Second.  Law enforcement benefits on many levels from casino gambling.  Sales tax will go to county coffers, of which law enforcement gets a piece.  Also, casinos will give cops a 2nd job in which to moonlight (potentially) and create strategic alliances with law enforcement agency (more money for them).  Also, crime is actually DOWN over 10 years.  Casinos may bring with it the type of scenarios seen in the video on TruthPac. 

Folks.  I enjoy a little bit of gaming.   But I sense that the industry is not what our state needs.

We need real jobs that will endure and bring money INTO the state. 

Just because the government is currently gambling on our future doesn't mean that we should as well.
