That is SHAMEFUL! Here is a corporation that brings in nearly 30 million dollars per month (casino and racetrack), and they are showing their CORPORATE GREED by not wanting any more competition. <br /><br />Shameful, that they want to deny our citizens of 1,250 new jobs, nearly 1,000 construction jobs, and over twelve million dollars in additional annual revenue all because they are greedy. They are afraid of the competition, and are showing their lack of being a good corporate citizen. Isn't 30 million dollars a month enough?123weneedthejobsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-90279236698560497632011-11-02T21:04:03.630-05:002011-11-02T21:04:03.630-05:00If the powers that be in Bossier are so strongly f...If the powers that be in Bossier are so strongly for it there's got to be a rat somewhere.

That's about 12,500 people in the Shreveport-Bossier area who are currently unemployed. 1,200 may be small in comparison to that figure but at least it is SOMETHING. Biggest facing America now is jobs. The candidates talk about it. This is just my thinking..but here we have an opportunity to add some jobs to this area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-64976814348763421452011-11-01T12:09:35.069-05:002011-11-01T12:09:35.069-05:00Kartman, full agreement.

I think also that all the chemical substances which dysfunctional people use to destroy their lives should be regulated for purity and strength, regulated to protect children, highly taxed just like gambling, and then freely sold in drug and alcohol establishments. But even though I support freedom, neither the gambling interests or anyone else who cater to human frailty and dysfunction are going to make a loser out of me.<br />(note to those who complain about being anonymous): It will not post with the user name that I use everywhere else, and says it contains forbidden charactersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-50305804505047342822011-11-01T11:50:35.138-05:002011-11-01T11:50:35.138-05:00I see this as a positive.

Downs to have table games. Gambling is gambling whether it is in the water or on land, through a slot machine or by a table game. The exception being that the slots at Harrahs supplement the racing purses to draw more horseman to come here. Raising throughbreds and racing them is a big industry and it is not all about gambling. But if they allow land based gambling with Margariteville why not be fair and allow Harrahs the right to have table games also to improve the purses for horseman which draws the tourist industry and creates more jobs. After all La. Downs has made alot of money for Bossier City and Parish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
