But wait! What’s this? Didn’t Beshear promise in his campaign he was going to make sure this issue made the ballot? It is time to put this question on the ballot and let the people of Kentucky decide. As Governor of this state, I will make sure that the people have an opportunity to make that choice.

Broken promises on the spending of the Lottery money, broken promises on what voters were told they were voting on, and now broken campaign promises.

Anyone notice a pattern developing here?

The people involved in this issue are for the most part not gamblers. So, the mentality is . . . Its the problem of the person going to casinos. Yes, that is true but he lure of quick money and an occasional win eventually takes over. The people who own these casinos are not every day business people. Behind every Gambling Issue . . . Crime increases. Bankruptcy goes up and the suicide rate among children increases by three percent. There is a long list of the down side of HOMETOWN GAMBLING . . . but it seems the MAIN STREAM MEDIA never has much to print about the HUMAN SIDE of gambling addiction. Gambling addiction is huge problem all across America and it gaining momentum each year. Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.” Edward Vernon Rickenbacker quotes (American Pilot, Businessman and Aviator. 1890-1973) Ken Harouff

I lived there until 1995, then moved to Reno, NV until 1999. 20 years I lived in gambling communities. With big money, comes big problems. When Detroit tried it, their crime went up in double digits. Having a Riverboat Casino 30 miles away is one thing, having a Casino Dowtown Louisville WILL BE DIFFERANT! If you have not lived in it, you can not tell me I am wrong. I challenge anyone who is for gambling to live in a gambling community for 30 days first. Go see Las Vegas now, several major casino's have layed off 3,000-5,000 workers EACH! Unemployment is over 11%. Gambling is not substainable in hard times. Kentucky needs substainable industry to build, Go Green! LED lights, solar panels, wind turbines, etc.....
