I think for certain areas, casinos are a boon, but a lot of towns with casinos are dumps. How about legalizing the lottery? Easy money.

I hate that Alabama is so regressive on this issue. Downtown Mobile is experiencing a lot of growth and redevelopments. I can imagine what it would have been today if the state would have capitalized on the proposals of Donald Trump and Steve Wynn.

If this would have went through Mobile would have been what Savannah and Charleston are today on a tourist aspect.
But no one wanted to upset the Indians and cut off the flow of money to the reelection campaigns!
