I know everyone thinks that a casino would turn into a place for drug addicts & hookers, but that really isn't the case. Maybe for Atlantic City it is, but there are Casinos in the middle of nowhere that are perfectly respectable. You'd be surprised how much much you could make working at one of those places.
I feel this way about the slot machines. Many people travel to Atlantic City, and many other places just to gamble. WHY not keep them here and make money to help our economy. I know people are worried about some who may spend there paychecks on this but I bet some do that now elsewhere. We have drug addicts here in Kittanning and so called hookers. It doesn't matter. I hope it gets passed and maybe then it will help PA. out instead of somebody else..
