I see, Bob. There was a casino built within oh, 2 miles from the border of NA land where we lived. But there are also casinos that were wayyyy out there and they had no trouble attracting gamblers to make the trip. I guess where there's a will, there's a way. I have to agree that the west side would most likely be chosen for this type of "entertainment"...either way the education system would benefit, right?
Personal opinion of course, but it just seems in hard financial times the State should do what it can to restore funds...even just a lottery would benefit the State. There are plenty of people who fly to Las Vegas to spend their money there anyway. If that money remains in Hawaii, it's good for us.
