Editorial: Wisconsin doesn't need any more casinos

Monday, September 18, 2006  

"Wisconsin doesn't need any more casinos.

We already have 17 of them, not counting seven smaller tribal convenience stores with slot machines.

One-armed bandits, poker, blackjack and often craps and roulette are a relatively short drive from almost any community in the state.

That means those who like to gamble can already do so to their heart's content (and wallet's discontent).

American Indian casinos are legal and, for most people, relatively harmless fun.

But Wisconsin doesn't need a casino seemingly in every city. Nor does it need off-reservation casinos in Beloit, Shullsburg and Kenosha."
