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.
