Let’s root for casinos, wherever they may be

Let’s root for casinos, wherever they may be

EDITOR:

You have to love the Valley’s newest political mouthpiece, David Betras. Here’s a guy ready to start a holy war to keep the casino issue off the ballot because it shuts out the Valley ... for now. Somehow Dave thinks if we keep some poor unemployed inner city resident from getting a job in a Cleveland casino, the world, in this case, Youngstown, will be a better place.

Putting the gambling debate aside, aren’t we all Ohioans? Like rooting for the Buckeyes in football can’t we all be happy for a person in another corner of the state having the opportunity to land a job. Whatever happened to the “greater good”?

It seems Mr. Betras as the leader of the Democratic pack needs to learn how to share. After all, he already has his piece of the pie. We all see the billboards, fancy threads and big office building in the burbs. Can’t someone else get a crumb?
