Congresswoman Candice Miller on the Casino Bill

Tribal Gambling

Should gambling be legal in the state of Texas? Most people say no, but I disagree with them, gambling should be allowed. On any given day you see Texas licenses plates crossing the stateline over to LA, they aren't going there just for the scenery, if one was to follow them you would find that they are going to LA casinos. So I say why not provide them with places within our own state. The way I see this issue is that Texas could greatly benefit from this in several different ways. Not only could we use the revenue gambling would bring in, but if would also fund jobs, bring visitors from other states, and along the way it would also help the tribal communities. Some people say that it's immoral and a sin, well this might be true however, if one wants to gambling or place a bet on a race they will find away to do so. So I say let Texas reap the benefits of those.
