i am not against the casino, but i don't think it will do anything to improve my life, other than give me another option for something to do on a friday night in december...

 I agree with you although I don't live in the area. No one in the area (other than someone who benefits directly like a store owner or supplier) likes it.  The towns have actually spent lots of money attempting to keep the casinos from expanding.
