Casino coming to Toledo – bad news for Henry’s plan?

Posted by AWB in City & County Government

It may be too late for Mayor Henry’s casino ambitions. Last night, Ohio voters approved four casinos in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo. The amendment was promoted by Penn National Gaming Inc. and Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. Their group spent $35 million in to persuade voters, and the amendment passed 53 percent to 47 percent.

David Wilmott, president of Penn National says all four casinos should be built in a little over two years.

It would be great to see the message amplified that people should firstly consider gambling via entrepreneurship and small business.

America’s landscape has quickly become run over by the casino industry. Soon, it will be everywhere. In terms of balance, when looking at Indiana, the northeast corner is about the only part of the state without one nearby.
