If you saw the ads for issue 3 you would think that we were voting on a tax levy to assure that all Ohio kids will be able to go to college.
There is absolutely no mention of legalized gaming in the state of Ohio.
As a fervent libertatrian, I have no qualms about legalized gaming. However, as that same libertarian, I have a huuuuuge issue with establishing a gaming cartel which sets up geographic and business gaming syndicates much like the Ohio lottery.
A good gaming law would permit localized governments to decide if they want casinos or not.
If Marietta want casino gaming, they should be permitted. If Columbus wants to limit gaming to horse tracks they should be permitted as well.
This law stinks; as it was set up by some individual land owners around the state and to get the public to bite in they wrote the law to sucker voters into believing that there would not be a gaming parlor in their corner of suburbia. In addition, the Argosy people put language in to prohibit Cincinnati from having a Casino thereby limiting competition to their Lawrenceburg shop.
Vote it down.
