WV needs more opportunities for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer... make that, the very poor to get very poorer.
The gaming industry is a panacea. But oh if Huntington had only a Teletrack (remember?)instead of a Pullman Square. Damn, at least they did something right.

At least you understand and agree how gaming is a panacea for Huntington. That is a no brainer. The easiest fix ever for a city torn by the loss of industry and population.
As for you vague primary remark? Instead of preaching the obvious pious response, why don't you research it and tell me how gaming makes the poor poorer? What is the average income of the table game player versus the video game player versus the lottery player? Show me where any town that has legalized gaming(AC, Vegas, Reno, Tunica, Biloxi) where: 1. The average income has decreased 2. The unemployment rate has gone up 3. Welfare ratio per capita has increased 4. Population has decreased 5. The tax base has decreased and get back to me. Just ONE town sturt.  |

I remember seeing a report about Atlantic City on 60 Minutes years ago... and I mean many years ago... which supported the gist of my contention.
Something more recent? I'll have to look into it... shouldn't be that difficult to document. |

You'll find that you are grossly misinformed.
