This is being presented the worse of the worse.
There is zero sure fired taxes. Why did they play around and attempt to have a casino with vague rules? Both for how it may be taxed and how it might be regulated.
If it is such a great deal for the taxpayers why would there be any doubts about the amount of taxes that could be generated.
All of these casinos are a sore on the backside. None contribute to the well being of anybody, except those who profit. They are designed for one purpose and one purpose only. To take in millions of dollars that probably could have been spent far better for other needs.
Those are the milk for the kids, rent and other daily needs. Lots of seniors and retired lose money they can not afford. In fact you do not need an addiction of any type to get into big trouble. That is the real problem, there are many types of gambling, casinos are the way to lose big and quick. They also make it easy to lose money they do not have.
Already happening in Ohio. Plenty of peeps around me in trouble from loses in WV. It is far more wide spread than normally given credit for. Peeps lose hundreds, even thousands in a weekend. I know too many of them. Some have lost huge amounts, as in the hundreds of thousands.
To claim this is a desirable method of creating employment is a bit of a joke. Ohio does not need a casino, the real solution is to shut down all the rest of them in other states. Yeah, peeps will always gamble but casinos are the worse method available.
Why not just legalize all types of drugs and make money that way. Hey, it will create jobs, peeps will get what they desire. Who cares about the consequences. It is a sad industry with plenty of hurt to go around.
The fact that they could not have done a clean easy to understand ballot question is enough for me to vote NO as many times as possible. It is a very bad set of choices. The last thing the people of Ohio need is another cancer on society which is all any casino really is.
Don't open one here, shut them down in other states. That really should be the question we should get to vote for.
Don't play willy games about what the State of Ohio is really geting and then try to justify it by claims that it really is in society's interest to have something that is inherently bad. This is bad in every aspect one wishes to view it.
1. It is super vague exactly what will happen if approved.
2. The rules are super vague how it will operate.
3. The rules are vague about how it can be regulated or taxed.
So easy to vote against something so poorly presented. If it was such a good thing for Ohio, why was it worded in this manner. If in doubt always vote
NO.
Bring an industry with honest jobs to Clinton county, make it something that will add value to society and not create a bunch of losers and walking wounded in the process. Maybe something like a toxic waste treatment plant which in the long run will be far, far better than a casino.
