Our region is exporting gaming dollars to outside gaming influences, and in return the state of Kansas has to face the consequences of receiving none of the revenue.

We essentially already have gaming. It's in our backyard, whether we want it or not. We are outsourcing these gaming jobs.

Slots at the tracks are the worst of all worlds. It brings in very few jobs and no new property tax base.

This is not about a casino for us. This vote represented that Sumner County voters are ready for growth. We want to bring the jobs, the opportunities.
