We are all being scammed! Everyone seems to be focusing on whether gambling should be expanded in Washington. Nowhere have I read about the puny return to Washington citizens if Initiative 892 passes.
Who decided that one-third to the citizens and two-thirds to the promoters was OK? It seems to me that the cost of equipment and administration of the program is the same as that in Oregon. Oregon citizens, however, get the two-thirds portion! How much do other states get? I don’t believe this is a well-thought-out initiative.
Why would Washington citizens accept half of what they might realize? Who negotiated this deal? Why, the organizers and promoters did, of course! Why would we accept such a deal?
What, do we look like good sports? (Read that: dupes, patsies, gullible, and generally dumb!)
I, for one, am voting against I-892!
