Gambling: "Fool's gold" or "great asset to have".
Gambling has become an issue in this Kentucky's election, with the Gov. Fletcher, who once wanted to leave the issue for voters to decide in a constitutional amendment vote but now is against it, calling it "fool's gold", and his opponent, Steve Beshear, who supports it and wants the voters to approve a constitutional amendment allowing what I'm sure he'll echo is "a great asset to have".
So what is your take on all of this?
And is there anyone reading this who is aware of a COMPREHENSIVE study done on the effects (positive and negative) of casino gambling (such as is being proposed), WITHOUT the rhetoric, hyperbole and partisanship that OBSCURES the TRUTH?
If so, can you PLEASE ALERT us to the study so that we may be equally enlightened as you are? Until then, would everyone please share your NON-PARTISAN and FACTUAL thoughts with us?
Update: Jury's out on casinos.

Indiana last year brought in more revenues through the casino boats than they did through means of taxes last year. I haven't heard a word about increased crime in those areas. I have been up there a couple of times and I like it. I like the casino, the shoppes, the restaurants, the entire experience. I haven't tried to hotel yet. I like it though. I think it would be good for Kentucky to allow casino gambling.
I absolutely love sports gambling and I think that everyone should have the right to gamble from the comfort of their own homes as long as safeguards are in place to protect against underage and problem gambling.
