Bad Bet for Florida

January 10th, 2012 by flanews

The Attorney General, Commissioner of Agriculture and Chief Financial Officer joined the Florida Chamber of Commerce today and declared gaming a bad bet for Florida.

They say a gaming expansion would ruin Florida’s family friendly environment and hurt business. Chamber of Commerce President Mark Wilson says the focus should be on climbing out of the recession, not resort casinos.

“Lets put this massive distraction aside. Lets focus on growing the private sector, continuing to grow the jobs in Florida and lets put this conversation off,” said Wilson.

The senate bill passed its first committee last night. Pro-gaming commercials featuring Ben Stein are beginning to air statewide promising 100-thousand permanent jobs.
