Let's be clear, while horse racing facilities are set up to start gaming, any entity should be allowed to have a license for gaming, not just a select few. Why should horse racing benefit just because their profits are falling?
See PTI's point about widespread corruption and cronyism.
 
We should get the GYERO Sports Bar up and running quickly just in case the state allows non horse tracks to open a facility. Surely somebody here has connections in the gaming industry so we could partner with Caesars or the like.
 
Just remodeled my entire house and the wood to tile was a funky transition to me as well. I ended up floating a nice Luxury Vinyl Plank throughout the entire first floor with zero transitions, love it.

Put a different plank upstairs and even in the baths, just hate the look of tile. Some much so I used a stone ledger for the kitchen backsplash instead of the trendy subway tile. No thanks.
 
I’m proud of all of the people on here who resisted the urge to take that address and sign another poster up for various mailing lists. Shows growth.
 
One of your closest neighbors has been convicted of Sodomy 1st and Sex Abuse 1st. Three 11-year-old victims and a 7 year old victim. Or the same 11-year-old three times. Hard to say.
 
Too much personal info? Shit! Chase just saved me from going the jail protecting my kids!

I bet Chad is pissed right reading all these responses, rightfully so I might add.
 
Appreciate the advice, Anthony from the Internet.

Not that I ever get to help out because I do more commercial work but man it's invaluable to be able to find out if you're getting hosed or not from GYERO experts. My krazyjew senses went bonkers when hoss put these numbers down on the table but all and all, he's well reviewed, Anth said he's in line on pricing and even gave me some pointer on how to beat another 3 hundred out of him.

Actually kinda relieved because we just got estimates for remodeling the kitchen and now I have more time to push that and put my wife out on the corner to turn some tricks.

Early adopter on this, I think, but if there's one thing that's nails-on-a-chalkboard annoying in regards to legalized gambling (and weed, for that matter), it's that it will automatically and forever be paired with a way to fix the pension crisis.

No.

You allow sports gambling because it makes sense. Because it's legal. Because people already do it. Because government shouldn't restrain individuals from making a living. Because all of your neighboring states are kicking your ass all up and down the union by welcoming the industry. Because citizens largely approve of it. The pension fix, if it happens at all, is ancillary.

Quit overregulating and restraining your constituency, you hypocritical asshats.
 
Fake hardwood throughout the house looks great, stacked and classy, sure. But swapping it out at the kitchen for the functionality of an honest material that stands up to water/wet spills looks cheap?

Oh, OK - act like every TV isn’t absurdly located. The tile is the problem.

I see a lot of rage from pro-expanded gambling / weed legalization, but have yet to see a lot of analysis of the economic impact these two fairly significant shifts in the norms of our society will have on our state. And I agree that once Indiana put several beggar-thy-neighbor casinos on the Ohio, that should have forced our hand.

That said, expanded access to casinos is going to hurt a lot of people. There's a small portion of the population, who by having these casinos closer to where they live, is going to be financially ruined (along with their dependents). And guess what, the taxpayers end up paying for that.

So show me the analysis. Not some Gambling Association report, but some level headed analysis telling me how much it will increase the state coffers, how much it will help / harm our local communities, how many more people, on the margin, will lose their life's savings on casinos. Then I'll be happy to look at that and make a call on whether this is the right thing to do.

Books? Who else? The income will be good but not going to change the state.

I would have to say, the freedom to gambol is whats most important to me. Archaic stupid prohibition. Just like weed. The money is nice but eliminating stupid laws is way better.

That argument doesn’t even exist really because those losers are absolutely losing it anyway in a different state then coming home and leeching off us.

So basically at least in this situation Ky would at least benefit for the degenerates vice.

I agree, but as a degenerate in college who loved blackjack, having a casino in downtown Lexington would have made my habit an "every weekend" thing as opposed to "once every few months" thing. The distance prevents making it even worse.

Fair - but that's not what we're going to get either. Freedom would be Molly Malone's being allowed to have slot machines, a couple of blackjack tables and a sportsbook if they wanted it. Instead, we're going to get crappy run-of-the-mill casinos.
 
You asked for a solid non bias base of information. It doesn’t get anymore solid than ~134 BILLION dollars in tax revenue the last decade. Then let’s say at the lowest estimate Ky residents cover 40% of that taxable revenue in those 7 cross state casinos.

That is 53.6 BILLION dollars in the last decade that should have been in state.

What else do you need to realize or figure out what your trying to figure?
