Why put any faith in a privately funded casino in the middle of an area that has never embraced casino style gambling? What politician is behind this genius move?

The advocates of this plan have some politician in his pocket.

This is a scam, a trick to make someone wealthy by eliminating the competition. This is why casino style gambling will never make it in Ohio and the surrounding states are cashing Ohio dollars in their casinos.

Put casinos in Ohio where they will attract the most people; along Lake Erie.
