Except for a handful of managers, they are unlikely to put down roots, buy a home, start a family, and become the sort of new citizens Beloit needs. THE ONLY REAL argument for casinos is money. Although Indian casinos pay no property taxes, they do make payments to cities for the privilege of being there, at least so long as they have the money to pay. They also claim to attract new outside dollars. Casinos are an emotional topic and the issues they raise cannot easily be reduced to simple facts and figures.
Many arguments made on both sides are, to be frank, bullfeathers.
I've actually heard it claimed, for example, that if Beloit had a gambling casino, it would reduce crime in the city. To be honest, some of the anti-casino arguments are almost as ridiculous. In these three articles, I'm going to rely on facts. We're fortunate in this regard because some of the best research on Indian casino gambling has been done here in Wisconsin. It attracts outstanding young people from all 50 states, and from countries around the world, but the number of top high school students is limited and competition is tough.
