West Warwick Casino: Good Idea or Bad?

[Mr. Sandman]

One would think there is enough coruption related problems in RI without bringing in gambling. But then again, maybe if we concentrate all the graft, crime, and scumbags in one place we can carpet bomb it and kill it off once and for all. Just an idea.

RI is the only place I have ever lived where I hear this on the news:

"Today, police stopped a car on I-95 near Cranston and found a pair of human hands in the trunk, police are investigating who they belong to" WTF? And during the time I lived there I heard this more then once.

RI needs to clean up its own mess before you bring in anything so tempting as gambling. If you want to gamble drive a few miles to CT.

Maybe someone wanted to lend a hand or two?

Funny, do any of you guys remember Custy's seafood resturant in South Kingston? They had to close up due to lack of business. Now they are reopened and booming on the road to Foxwoods! Know why the RI hospitality industry association opposes the casino? Know who their biggest member is and who pays almost 90% of their dues? Foxwoods casino, that's who.

Sure some folks will go to the casino instead of eating out downtown or up on Federal Hill, but how many casino vistors won't take a tour of Providence and stop for dinner?
