Your initial assumption is false. 70-80% of the gambling would be done by Chicago residents. That's a net outflow of money to out-of-state casino owners, especially when you include the fact that money spent on gambling is not going to be spent on local businesses. Take a look around Atlantic City, three blocks away from the Casinos. -- ted frank | thf2@ellis.uchicago.edu standard disclaimers | void where prohibited the university of chicago law school, chicago, illinois 60637
