if it actually goes to those causes?I would be all for using it to address mental illness facilities and policy, education, and other essential services. A lot of good could come of the money that may help address issues on multiple fronts.

Yeah, that won't happen. Remember how Ann Richards sold the lottery by claiming the money would be reserved for education?I would be all for using it to address mental illness facilities and policy, education, and other essential services.

That can be built into legislationYeah, that won't happen. Remember how Ann Richards sold the lottery by claiming the money would be reserved for education?
It wasn't.
Casinos are not in “high demand”. I sure hope there is never one near where I live.
Or until a few hundred thousand southern Baptists or church or Christ go to heavenIt will never happen with FukHead one and two in office.
Sure, it could be. But it wouldn't be. There are 1,000 ways to amend a bill in the final days of the session. You can be sure the leaders of the legislature would find a way to put the money into the general fund, because they would want control. They always do.That can be built into legislation
Would be nice if we could get rid of all these clownsSure, it could be. But it wouldn't be. There are 1,000 ways to amend a bill in the final days of the session.

Probably because those two are being/will be paid by those casinos. Don't be naive, it's all about money.Filed by Kuempel, a Republican, and Alvardo, a Democrat, proof that we can have bipartisan support for at least one issue!
There is a casino in Eagle Pass....It’s not going to pass this session, but at least this may be the first step. We finally have a bill to legalize casino and sports gambling in Texas.

Not having casinos keeps would be gambling addicts from trashing their kids college funds. Then again, if whores and drugs and gambling are a harbinger of an enlightened society, go for it. Pass the coke, give me a handy, and put it all on red. Class.

Yes it would. It would proliferate that. That fact cannot be argued. The choice is whether money or morals matters most. Call it old fashioned but the money from family's bank accounts should not fatten the casinos wallets for the good of the state. What should we do? Drain the pocketbooks of the ignorant so they will get a petty return in kind? Ruin a home but hey, the kids get a new globe for world history class? If you see the towers in Vegas then you must understand those palaces weren't built on hard work. It's by stripping the weak of what little they ever thought they had. No casinos in Texas.Having a casino in Texas or not won’t change that.
Let me get this straight, you think that those that are already addicts aren’t currently draining their bank accounts gambling?? If they are gambling addicts, they are already destroying their lives through that process. Should we ban alcohol because of addicts? What about all those addicted to smoking? The list goes on and on and on.Yes it would. It would proliferate that. That fact cannot be argued. The choice is whether money or morals matters most.

Is there evidence that states with casinos have a higher percentage of parents blowing their kids college funds than non-casino states?Yes it would. It would proliferate that.

I certainly respect your stance. I believe you are taking that stance because you believe it is for the best. Taking a principled stance is admirable. And you are right. It is undeniable that there will be some gambling addicts who will ruin their lives and the lives of those around them.Yes it would. It would proliferate that. That fact cannot be argued.

And that’s all Indian casinos across the red
good lord, please let us just privately fund them and put a Vegas in West Texas
There is/was a casino in Texas, the Kickapoos in Eagle Pass have one. At least they did have one, I haven't been there in years, so don't know if it is still there.This is something I have thought would be perfect for Texas. It just makes too much sense.

How on earth is a place like Golden Nugget able to survive in Lake Charles, LA?
You think people are just stopping in on their way by?
Yeah, when the lottery was voted in taxes dropped like a rock.The guy is a quack... it’s sad that they screw the taxpayers of Texas so bad with that kind of stuff. Think how much cheaper property taxes could be!
I think the debate isn’t the ignorant but the ignorant’s family.'Drain the pocketbooks of the ignorant'
The ignorant are going to get their pockets drained one way or the other. That's what ignorant means. It's a word that comes down from Old England and all our little old ancestors.
There is a casino in Eagle Pass....
With all due respect to the Kickapoos, it’s not a casino in the Las Vegas sense. There are no table games, so no blackjack, roulette, craps, etc. Only slot machines and electronic games. There is also no sports gambling allowed. Basically, everything that interests me in casinos is missing. And it’s in Eagle Pass...There is a casino in Eagle Pass.
I’ll bet he enjoys the comps in our boarder statesHe is such a hypocrite. He probably loved casinos when he was a coke head.
