good info, thanks. balanced against what it takes away from the local economy I would still consider it a loss. hopefully we can put this all to bed soon and maybe focus on things that actually help Richmonders (Richmonites? Richmonians?).

and yet here we are still talking about and it's still alive in legislature. agreed that Petersburg should do whatever is best for them regardless.

all of those licensing fees go to the state, don't they? Richmond would benefit only marginally. predatory business gobbling millions throwing back a pittance sounds like a great bargain.

really made me sad to see how hard he pushed this

the only purpose of an establishment like a casino is to hoover up money, not dole it out. if it's such an obvious payout why did they have to buy their way to the table?

going by your logic any business is free money for the city.

guess that 2mil they spent on trying to push this shit through worked on some folks. "free money" what a joke.
