4 thoughts on “With gambling legislation on pause in Indiana, some push for reform

  1. When you design a government to be this dysfunctional, the only way changes get made is through the grease of corruption. Is anyone surprised that the people who got these gaming deals approved were corrupt?

  2. I’m not a big fan of gambling as a source of revenue. The primary users are those that cannot afford to pay these “voluntary taxes”. I am also not a fan of betting on sporting events. I find it interesting that gambling sites can actually sponsor NCAA and professional events, but liquor and cigarettes can have no place in sports advertising.

  3. Bring a casino to downtown Indianapolis to help bring more visitors downtown.Union Station and Circle Centre together is a perfect casino/retail combination.

    1. Go check out the downtowns with casinos.

      Detroit, St Louis

      It’s not pretty

      Downtown Indianapolis needs residents not visitors.
