At a time when this state needs tax money, allowing off-reservation non-Indian gambling should be a no-brainer. Others should be allowed the same gambling the Indians now have a non-competitive lock on.
The Indians have had more than ample time to get their casinos up and running; it’s time that competition keeps the games fair for all.
As for religious objections, gambling is already here, folks. It’s time we share in the tax, and the employment. This will generate money badly needed to fund our government.
