Hello. Former NE resident who now resides in KC. I do not know the opinions of all Missourians, just the ones I work with and the majority of them don't believe the casinos were such a great idea after all. The idea that casinos uses to sell the public on the idea is the flood of new jobs and new funding for public schools. Truth is, most of the jobs are low income jobs which do little to improve peoples quality of life. And while a portion of the casino profits are skimmed off for the purpose of the schools, they still are dumped into a general pool which is used for everything. Just because the money is supposed to go to the schools doesn't mean it will. Missouri still has one of the worst school systems around.
Casinos will say anything you want to hear....just so they can build. They are a businees afterall and don't give a flip about the publics well being.
Just my two cents! Peace.
