Title: New Ohio casino initiative
Post by: rusty river on March 12, 2009, 11:30:51 PM
It looks like Ohioans will be voting on another casino proposal come November.
The plan calls for four full-fledged casinos in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Toledo.

It appears that Argosy Casinos (who spent big bucks on a negative ad campaign that arguably led to the failure of this past election's casino attempt) is heavily involved in the current proposal.

Excludes Youngstown.
I'll be voting No.

I am 100% for Gambling and was supportive of the last measure on the November ballot, but after it went down miserably, the only time I'll support it is if it will be in YOUNGSTOWN.

I will NOT vote for any initiative that creates a gambling monopoly in Ohio.
