Why even ask whether casino should be allowed. Florida lottery is the same as gambling in a casino. Even people that invest in the stock market are gambling.At least a casino would bring many jobs to florida. Really??? Why even ask whether casino should be allowed.

If the majority of voters in a county want gambling then they should be allowed to have it. Or if the majority don't want it then it should not be allowed. We are supposed to be a democratic country! Politicians should not decide where gambling is allowed.

Or if the majority don’t want it then it should not be allowed.

We heard about how horrible it would be if they allowed poker at the greyhound track, and after years of no problems and job creation, we now have to listen to folks who think adult entertainment is bad for the state of Florida. If you followed the money which is supporting these groups, you can bet out of state gambling interests are probably the biggest contributor to banning casino gambling in Florida. Somebody should follow the money as to who is really supporting this ballot initiative.
