A casino monopoly in Arkansas? No thanks!
By The Natural State Hawg, All Arkie Army: Yes, we've got some [out of state] maniac running around thinking that he ought to be able to build seven casinos all over my state and have a state-protected monopoly so he doesn't have to deal with any mean old competitors.I'm not a fan of casinos and I detest monopolies, so I hope the jerk fails. You can read all about this rotten move by clicking here.
Hopefully this self-serving effort fails miserably. He'll be out petitioning soon. If you do live here, please refrain from signing one and putting this ridiculous proposal on the ballot.
ARRA News Editor Comments: Question - When and where did our elected officials grant the AG the authority to certify proposed ballot initiative for Arkansas Constitution amendments made by out-of-state residents. The identified proponent for this gambling monopoly is a Texas businessman per all the news articles. Gambling - I leave that issue to the Arkansas people to propose. Surprised the proposal wasn't advanced by Lt Gov. Bill Halter as he loves support by the gambling and porno industries. A Monopoly - No Way! A Constitutional amendment proposed by an out-of-state Texas businessman Michael Wasserman (or even his in-state corporation) - "Hell No! He must consider Arkansas his personal playground!

I never have thought Casino's brought more money into a community on into the states coffers. To me it just seems to move funds around some. Personally I use to visit them about twice a year, but haven't been now in about five years. Monopolies of any kind are bad. Also Casinos located in the Mississippi delta area put a great burden on the poor in those regions as they are the biggest victims of the slots and other gaming devices. Fun yea, but if you can't afford to lose stay away.
No casinos.....PERIOD!!!!
