Tribal gaming will benefit from ban

City of Everett officials stuck their heads in the sand again by banning mini-casinos. They are looking for economic development, but they hinder people who might invest in Everett by enhancing restaurants to attract people to come in and play cards. People looking for entertainment just go to the Indian casino, thus driving the money out of the city. So much for economic development.
