Yeah, we need another casino bad! Another black hole in our tax base, sucking discretionary spending (mostly from the poorest and least educated) and the associated taxes out of our coffers. Unlike rinky dink casinos in the middle of nowhere, at least we get to fleece Texans too! Too badf the Sunland Racino is so close. Since it actuallly has to pay taxes and can’t otherwise compete with table games or the newest machines its not allowed to have, it can’t compete. Let’s hope they don’t get cannibalized too much. Maybe Las Cruces can raise its taxes to make it up to the Racino the way Ruidoso is. Oh well, at least Jerry Peters gets rich. Maybe we can get a untaxed unregulated Casino at Winrock too! Once we get this done, maybe another leaking well in the gulf would create some more jobs too. Big bold ideas as we’ve come to be known for…

This should be no brainer! It is time for another casino around Las Cruces. Even Santa Fe with a smaller population has two casinos. I lost count of the number of casinos around Albuquerque. Once built as the expression goes – the money will be rolling in! It will create jobs. However you know politicians – they always have their fingers in the wind! These are hard times that require vigorous action.
