re: Why exactly are republicans in St Tammany against Casinos?

Is that going to happen? Wouldn’t those types of people just go/stay in New Orleans?

Don’t most middle aged golfers bet money on their rounds, and drink throughout the entire day? What’s the difference?

A St Tammany casino won't draw tourists. It'll draw the sad local trash who'll spend money they can't afford. You'll see more payday loan places, more used car lots, more pawn shops. If you want that, vote for it. A lot of people don't. There are already plenty of places to gamble if you want to.

Somebody is going to get rich off this and it won't be the sad sacks throwing their money away at the casino. Think of the usual suspects in St Tammany who always seem to have a hand in everything.

Not affiliated with republicans because I don't care if you drink coke or pepsi. But you really think people are going to leave New Orleans to go drink and gamble in Slidell and then... go back to New Orleans?

That's probably the dumbest part of this thread.

Even if people were going to do that (they 100% won't), most people in St. Tammany moved here to get away from New Orleans trash. I thought that was common knowledge to everyone.
