It is absurd to think that with a Wall Street financial sector systemically fraudulent that expanding into an even more heavily dependent financial economy is a good thing. No one doesn't understand the capacity for corruption with casinos and gambling...it is inherent. What people may not know is that these Vegas casinos had their employees locked into a nearly five year long strike a few decades ago as casino workers tired of being abused and paid poverty wages organized to force better conditions. No matter who is employed, we can easily anticipate that in a state already handing its labor force to business for povety wages at every turn, we will see the same abuse from this gaming industry. There is no upside to gambling.
We have to fight each year to see our public K-12 budget fully funded. This as record amounts of money head to these 'innovation centers' that are turning our public universities into corporate R and D and job training centers.....all to maximize profits. That is where all education spending is going, not to K-12 classrooms. This is an O'Malley and Rawlings-Blake policy and they will stick to it!
