Great news until the governor decides what his next target for revenue is going to be.

Porn tax? I'll be bankrupt by years end...

This is a loss of 200 million per year...now, instead of taxing the wholesalers, they are talking about moving it to the retailers.

I will just say one thing. If the casino is approved, I will probably be there every other weekend spending a LOT of my hard-earned money. I believe a lot of people will.

People already drive to shakopee, why not have some competition for the Indians? Minnesota is the only state that gets nothing from the tribes.

Tracy, I do not support Treasure Island, Mystic Lake, or Grand Casino anymore, and haven't for some years now.

Racino sounds to me like a good way to replace the money if the appeal stands.

You guys really have great policy, so full of promise for America.

I thought you were going to stop posting because you were afraid of Big Brother Bush. I suppose this means you're not moving to Canada because he won the election, too? Shame.

So Harold, do you oppose all gaming, or just the state getting in on the action?
Tracy | Homepage | 12.21.05 - 10:35 am | #

I oppose all gambling
Harold | 12.21.05 - 10:46 am | #

OK, so what should we do about the out of control expansion of Indian Gaming where all the profits go to a small group of people and the costs are passed on to the state?

I'm curious to hear the answer to that one as well...Harold?

All I hear are crickets!

Chirp, Chirp!

He'll never answer it, because the guy is a joke. Harry rarely if ever answers a question. Typical lib. Stir the pot and then depend on the right to fix it. Look at his response to the Ice man debate. He brought up wire taps and suggested he would not debate anymore online for fear he's being watched! And this guy is ACTUALLY expecting to be taken seriously? "I'm in the computer business...I know". Yeah, you have NO credibility Harry.

Sometime I wonder if Hard Harry isn't Tracy just trying to keep us on our toes...but then I think that only a Liberal can be THAT looney and dismiss the thought.

sad but true...

Nice try but I don't need to stir the pot with an alias, my own views usually do the trick.

I have noticed that most threads vear off into topics I hadn't intended.

I'll try in the future to keep them on topic. I do have edit power, so I am god of this blog!
