Those casino economies exist only at the sufferance of special privileges in the state constitution themselves. The net gain to education spending probably is negligible since increased collections from Aurora will be offset by declining collections from Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek.<br /><br />The jobs are in Colorado either way, and the existing Colorado casinos aren't all Colorado corporations anyway, and all of the corporations regardless of their homes, have investors all over the place. I don't care which 1%ers get a piece of Colorado's gambling action.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-33287388021989760502014-10-29T15:29:47.337-06:002014-10-29T15:29:47.337-06:00I certainly voted NO on the horse track gambling. ...I certainly voted NO on the horse track gambling. All due respect, do your research next time on this one! It's benefiting one out of state company to crush the local economies of black hawk, central city and cripple creek. Moreover, the extra money going to schools is less than 1% of most schools' annual money. <br /><br />In other words, an out of state company will give parcels out to crush the local economy while making themselves monopoly-style rich. It's actually a no brainer for Coloradans. Not to even mention several other valid arguments. That's why it gets very little support - i.e. NONE of the local newspapers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-43056932551022853352014-10-26T17:17:52.986-06:002014-10-26T17:17:52.986-06:00Thanks for your post.

It seems to me like the amount of money this bill will raise will be offset by the increased amount of money that will go toward board member expenses. I'd be really interested in hearing your thoughts on this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
