Those who see slot machines or casino gambling as an answer to theCommonwealth's revenue problems, this blog post from Blue Mass Group is sobering news. A Rhode Island slot parlor operator may declare bankruptcy at the end of the month and the state will lose the revenue at a time when it can sorely afford it.
Let's hope our legislators are ...
... paying attention to what is happening next door and don't buy into increased gambling as a solution for added revenue.
The state Democratic Party adopted a no predatory gambling plank in their platform last month.
I don't like gambling as a way to raise revenue. Personally I wish the state would close the lottery too. What are your thoughts about casinos, slots and lotteries?
