Detroit Adult Entertainment: Ohio Voters Approve Casino Gambling
November 6, 2009 at 10:01 pm | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsAfter four previous failed attempts to legalize casino gambling in Ohio, backers of state issue 3 finally won voters over with their proposal to a casino in each of four Ohio cities.
Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, a principle backer of Issue 3, was flanked by supporters and other casino investors in celebrating a thumbs up from voters to build casinos in Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and Cincinnati. Issue three won by about six percentage points, a comfortable margin. During the campaign Gilbert made promises of jobs and revenue for Ohio, and last night said he believed voters took him at his word.
Opponents of Issue three had argued gambling would not create the jobs Gilbert promised, would spur prostitution and other criminal activity, and lead more Ohioans down a path of destructive gambling.
