Censored

by my own computer. I'm actually going to try this again. Last night I wrote a post that actually praised (gulp) Haley for the stand he was taking against his base on the casinos. Yep, Dog really said that about the Guv'ner. When I hit the 'Publish Post" button, I got my usual notice saying it was posted, but it never showed up. My anti-virus program must have thought someone one else, an imposter, was writing the blog and nixxed it. I dunno.

Well, hat's off to Haley. Moving the casinos on land is the only sane thing to do. Since Katrina, the state has lost roughly $15 Million in revenue. Add to that the 14,000 unemployed due to their workplace being destroyed and the economy of the Coast and Mississippi, in general, has really taken a hit. Regardless of one's position on gaming, the casinos do provide revenue. My argument is that why restrict it to the Coast. Greenville and the other river casinos could benefit greatly if they allowed casinos to move inland.

The House approved moving the casinos inland 800 ft. today. The Senate will take the matter up next. The House bill only made provisions for Hancock and Harrison Counties.

Well here goes nothing
