Editorial: Reject expansion of non-Indian gaming in Florida
Monday, November 14, 2011

"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?

Do you want Florida, which has an internationally known, family-friendly image with its amusement parks, beaches and other attractions and treasures, to become another Las Vegas or, worse, an Atlantic City?

The answer should be a resounding "no.""
