It seems to me that there has been a very long, drawn out controversy about whether to allow any casinos in Maine.  This is such a loaded question, on the one hand people are afraid that it will attract more crime; on the other hand people want the extra income.  There are a lot of “NIMBY”s “out there” and to be perfectly honest, I’m not sure that I’d be very happy if a casino were to open up in the town that I live in!  I would like to see any casino that is opened to be totally state run and all profits go to the government to pay for improvements to the schools, the infrastructure, and to improve social services.
