  1. It never cease to amaze me how law makers regulate the very things that most people like and that has the potential to generate HUGE revenue.To me sports betting seems to have the potential to be a win win for everybody.Possibly ease some state and local taxes as well as finance projects around the state, particularly education and roads.I just hate that sometimes Indiana doesnt move quick enough to capitalize on new and trending things before other states see the benefits and now every state is in it for the profits.STOP being so slow and conservative INDIANA!

    1. Indiana was one of the first states to legalize sports betting after the Supreme Court opened the door a couple years ago. Indiana being decades behind the curve is very true on so many important things, but not this one.

  2. The problem with our society in my opinion Kevin P. is that we act like sheep and want to follow the latest trend or fad. Please consider another viewpoint. Sometimes it is something silly and innocent and other times it points us towards a slippery slope and decisions are rushed on how things appear to be at the moment without enough thought for the long-term effects. I agree that anything taken to an extreme can be negative, perhaps even conservatism. But I would personally prefer to let someone else be the guinea pig and learn from their mistakes than to jump in the water without investigation. Yes Indiana does have a reputation for being conservative and that is why I like making my home here. But be fair and ask yourself an honest question or two if you are on the fence about this. Example: Are we really any better off being on DST rather than EST? To me it is a battle not worth fighting over but really the ones wanting this was the governor and some businesses, the chamber of commerce. And why? So we could be like all of the other states … The farmers hate it and most young mothers do not like it, and it is not best for schools and safety. I think we should be in the central time zone. Another one to consider: look back over the last several decades and decide are we really better off with a lottery than we were before? Our state was slow to adapt to the trend. We were told that most of the revenue (only 38% of the revenue goes to the state) would go to roads and public education. That did not work out so well either. The third question is what impact did the closing of mental health institutions and facilities have both on the mentally ill and also on the rest of the population. My observation is that in each of these three examples the state decided to follow trends that have proved less than adequate for the best welfare of the citizens of the state. Those 3 are off the top of my head but come up with a list of at least 3-6 more over the course of my lifetime that illustrate my point.
