Editorial: Reject expansion of non-Indian gaming in Florida


"The ongoing debate about legislation filed in Tallahassee to allow "destination casinos" in Florida boils down to this, even though its sponsors vehemently dispute it:

Do you want more personally and socially destructive gaming in the Sunshine State?

The answer should be a resounding "no.""
