Racinos and states make shameless bedfellows

Racinos and states make shameless bedfellows

In regard to the article “Racinos ask for break,” let me say that the Delaware politicians, who voted to increase gambling, and the crybaby racino management deserve each other.

First, states' condoning gambling strictly for revenue purposes is sick in itself due to the fact that crime, prostitution, illegal drugs, families in the poorhouse, etc., increase due to gambling establishments, yet no one – not the state courts nor health insurance companies – wants to put as much funding and effort into mitigating the impact of the ill effects of gambling.


Shameless acceptance, all in the name of state revenue. Let the state bail out the racinos. They deserve each other.
