I see from the Daily Wipe, that the Louisiana Attorney General, Charles Foti, is recommending that we get more land based casinos in this state.
With riverboat casinos in New Orleans, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport, the casino industry has taken a beating over the last month.
The Jena band of Choctaw Indians has some land in central Louisiana they want to use for land-based gambling and from all indications, they are cocked-and-locked to build. Let'em build, but get some good revenue guarantees from them.
Hell, there is so much gambling in this state now that another casino or two isn't going to make much difference. We should have another election and let the voters decide if they want gambling in a specific area. If a parish decides to allow gaming, let the building begin. Throw it wide open, and let the marketplace decide.
Let anyone who can satisfy the Gaming Board have a casino, whether it is three slot machines or acres of tables.
