Study: Jobs and Revenue Overstated, Addiction Ignored

Issue 3 is on the November ballot for Ohio voters to vote again on predatory gambling --

A study released Tuesday by a statewide bar and restaurant group rips a four-casino proposal for over-promising on jobs and local aid that gambling could bring to Ohio's largest cities, including Cleveland.

[Retired Hiram economics professor Thomas] Pascarella pointed out that the Cincinnati study does not take into consideration the full impact of casinos on gambling addiction, charitable gambling or the Ohio Lottery.

Pascarella said casinos, outside of Nevada, don't bring in any new business or residents or spur growth for a city or region.
