Also, what makes you think it will actually help the economy here?
Our economy is stronger than any neighboring state.
Our job rate seems to be better, our roads....have you driven in LA, Ok, or MS roads? Terrible.
You keep moving the goal posts.
The absolute bottom line is that big $$$ is leaving the state. Since we allowed games of skill at Oaklawn and Southland, less $ is leaving the state.
I don't support outright legalization of casinos in the whole state. I support a zoned legalization for Hot Springs, or even just a state-owned and operated casino, standing alone like the Harrah's in New Orleans.
I really don't understand the basis for your argument.

I'm asking you to show me where this helps the states economy.
Our neighboring states are some of the poorest states, bad economy states in the union. So how has it helped them?
Answer: it hasn't. Just like with the lottery. The big men with the casinos will rake in all the money. State may get quite a bit the first year, then that number starts to dwindle.
