Yaaayy What a great turn of events!!! Very happy Ohio!!!

[Tim]

Finally Ohio catches up to the rest of the states. This will help out the economy in Ohio so much more than anyone realizes. TruthPac tried to spread lies about Issue 3 while being funded by casino's from neighboring states. Congrats Gilbert and Go CAVS!!!

[Jason]

Well its about time

[Nicole]

Thank you. Ohio needed this in this economy.

[Jason]

it did pass right some sites are saying only 98% reporting

[Pat]

No way a casino will be built in Toledo, way too close to Detroit...only Cleveland, Columbus and Cincy will have casinos but I'm very happy with the victory!!:)

[Matt on Issue 3]

They forgot to mention the increase in crime, prostitution, corruption and drugs that will come right along with these casinos. Putting 4 casinos in 4 cities that have it bad as it is with crime just got an increase coming soon in the near future. Not to mention the more work for law enforcement.

It is about time the people woke up. This time sen. Voinovic lost!

[Bret]

Wow, it only took 20 years. I love Las Vegas. I go there frequently. Now I can take my airfare and hotel money and spend it in cleveland. Thank you voters !!!!!!!!!!

[Matt]

What jobs will be created for Ohioians? House Keeping, Cooks, and Valet parkers? How many casino dealers, professional dealers do you know in Ohio? Sounds like they need out of state employees for that one. No way will they train new dealers from Ohio. Its not in the "cards."

It's about time. Ohio suffered to long and gambling states gain so much. Ohio really needed
this and i hope that this puts us back to work.

[I voted Yes]

get over it MATT. Majority vote. A job is a job no matter what it is. im sure the %10 percent of unemployed Ohioans won't complain about having a job in a casino. People like you could find faults in anything

Apparently you don't read your daily papers. there is plenty of crime, prostitution,corruption and drugs without the casinos. The way i see it is the profits from the casinos can be used to hire more police and fire fighters and make this a safer city.
We just had headlines of a man killing at least ten people and there were no casinos. nuff said

MATT ON ISSUE 3-- all those things are excuses, las vegas seems to be doing fine... every other place that has casinos is doing fine whats the big deal... its gonna create jobs and bring people to ohio, of course they will need to have some people who are expirenced but come on there not gonna hire 34000 people from else where and bring them to ohio to work
