In an article in the Dallas Morning News, King Rick is prepared to cut off his nose to spite his face yet again.
In a statement Thursday regarding gambling in Texas, he said, "The Texas Legislature may find that it is something they're interested in. I would highly recommend they don't send it to my desk."
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jim Pitts, a Republican no less, has warned of an $18B budget shortfall next year. Even he says its time to re-examine gaming.
Let me repeat this!!! Winstar Casino, at exit 1, just over the Red River, is the 5th largest casino in the WORLD!! Their profits last year, from January to September, were $259 million. This may seem like a drop in the bucket when you are talking about an $18 billion shortfall, but a few casinos in Texas would be a good start.
