We are lucky...
First, the lottery then video poker then riverboat casinos then a land based casino then racinos then sports gambling. Each was going to save us. We must have the best schools and infrastructure in America.
As a side note I have zero issue with any of the above being legal. I just loathe lying pieces of crap that acted like it was going to be a windfall for anyone but politicians and their friends.

It’s not working well in Louisiana IMO. Our schools suck and our roads have been neglected for 30 years.
I struggle to see value do these Casino’s bring to this state taxpayers. They are designed to keep patrons on property to so they don’t really promote much tourism outside of their walls. Most of the properties suck and are rarely renovated or improved. They do hire people, but not as many as you’d think.
Maybe someone from Lake Charles or Shreveport can help make this case for me. But I don’t think those properties have contributed much to the growth in those metro areas.

What we really got was the state police with both hands in it. WTF redeeming quality do they have?

Thank goodness that is the case and there is no one getting filthy rich from it
