The funny thing is that we do actually have gambling here. Remember, the Kentucky Derby (horse race) has been going on for over 150 years and it's a *huge* event here. The race track is open almost all year plus we also have a state lottery. Casino's started knocking on our door years ago but no one wanted them becuase they either thought they would hurt the racing industry here or that slot machines would somehow fill our town full or whores and deadbeats. So the boats went to Indiana. Now the funny thing is, everyone Louisville, KY (where I am) drives 20 minutes over the river to the boats to gamble. Indiana is making a killing as far as revenues from this.
I would love to see the casinos come in here. The amount of money they would bring in would really help this city grow. -----Original Message----- From: Nick McClure [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 12:10 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: KY wants to give out a whoopin' That is exactly what is going on. We hear a lot of commercials now saying that the opponents of this bill must be in the pockets of people from Indiana and Ohio.
