Nov. 6, 2006 - Ohio Vote

Remember to bring ID with your current address on it to the polls in Ohio on Tuesday.

On election eve 2006... I am still undecided about Issue 3. I thought originally I was anti-gambling because... well I was brought up that gambling is evil... then a poll / discussion here about a Columbus magazine article about a pie in the sky non-issue, should City Center become a casino??.. got votes but I believe they thought they were voting on Issue 3. Some of the discussion makes me wonder if letting the states surrounding us lure Ohio gamblers out of state is such a good idea.

Issue 3 Gambling in Ohio - Slot Machines at Race Tracks and two locations in Cleveland

Select an option:

Yes

Business First Columbus is calling the state level races: "Final Ohio Poll has Dems winning governor, Senate races" All I can say is thank goodness the commercials will be over. I saw a site with YouTube videos of political ads. Why? Hasn't everyone had their fill?

"An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it. " George Bernard Shaw

If you want some practice voting:

A non existant gambling issue... A casino in downtown Columbus

Issue 4 - Smokeless Ohio - supported by the tobacco industry - a constitutional amendment

Issue 5 - Smokefree Ohio - supported by the American Cancer Society

Best Search for local Homes - nothing to do with politics

Best columbus Mexican Food - even less to do with politics

Gambling is never the panacea it seems and brings with it additional problems. It's economic development of last resort. Columbus can do better.

Columbus can do better but what about the rest of the state? Cleveland is where the slot machines will be in The Flats... and of course at the race tracks... Race tracks in Ohio are located in Columbus (2?), Cinci (2?) and Cleveland (?) if I am not mistaken that is where the race tracks are. Those who commented when I wrote about Columbus a few weeks ago were talking about right across the border from Cleveland and Cinci having gambling.. all of the gambling in bordering states being right on the border?
