Officers in those corporations don't worry about the negative impact of placing a casino in their own back yards, because they don't do it. In other words, they get the best of gambling without having to suffer the worst. They leave that to the states and reservations that allow them to do business. Let the tribes and the city councils worry about crime, gambling addiction and mopping up after the riff-raff that congregates wherever there's a whiff of easy money. Big corporate gambling concerns would love to come to Hawaii.
Many residents think Hawaii needs gambling.
It will bring in money that can be used for all manner of worthy projects such as education, special education and special, special education. It's money that would only be used for Good Works. The Legislature just killed a bill to study the economic impact of gambling in Hawaii. We didn't need it. The study would just remind us of the easy money we're missing out on.
