They will smile through their corrupt teeth never considering their constituency. There are a whole bunch of them that should be in another line of work. You are also right about the media, they are biased and if they say different they are lying. Hit the nail on the head, a long way for the politicians to do what the people want.

Those referendums should override any decisions made by any elected official who WE pay taxes for. They are at OUR service and they should fix the language (if there's even a problem with the language in the first place) to support the voters decision. Rewrite the law if needed, but the majority of those voters for those counties have approved slots at their local racetracks. It should clearly be the duty of the lawmakers and judges to make it happen. PERIOD! This is the way our country is supposed to work. The power should be in the people's votes and for what they want, not what corporations and corrupt politicians want. Unfortunately there are so may influences from so many angles in this matter. I'll be very surprised if the Supreme court does what's right for the counties and honest voters who want slots at their racetracks. I'll also be very surprised if the Governor does what's right and makes sure there are provisions in the Seminole compact for those racetracks - Not to give up this potential opportunity while still maintaining some revenues from the Seminoles. Most of the counties are not even close distance to compete with Seminole casinos so why wouldn't the state want to spread the economic wealth across the state? First and foremost reason to support the referendums --- because THE VOTERS SAID SO. I can't believe the media isn't interviewing the voters and getting their opinion on this. They are the ones who are offended. The pressure should be on these judges and lawmakers to make it right for the people. I'm furious and embarrassed by our lawmakers and leaders to turn their cheeks on the people like they have. The people of those counties voted for slots at their local racetracks.
