On WWL radio today they said the tax money LA gets from gaming (remember, gambling is against the state constitution) now exceeds the tax money the state gets from oil and gas


How sad is that! We pushed out the oil & gas industry so much that very little economy is left in Louisiana.

Phelan envisions casinos with concert halls, golf courses, and hotels, the newspaper report said.


So he clearly has been to the Boomtown and Treasure Chest Casinos and came away impressed.

Exactly. I know the holy rollers are doing their thing(even though they have no problem taking that bus to LA or OK). But the bigger issue is the corrupt politicians who take the LA and OK lobbying money. They have sold out the citizens of Texas.

And I agree with the destination idea. We do not need a slot machine in every corner store. It will just lead to more trouble in already troubled areas.
