What is that supposed to mean? excuse me but so what that Austin, wasn't named as one of the sites, this is one Casino company. If gambling was legal in Texas you can be assured that somebody would build something in Austin as well. As Kevin mentioned ealier, we have had our share of casino proposals. But this is the thing on Casino's, Sure they are glitzy and big and can draw tourism but I personally wouldn't want something that really can end up causing just as many problems as what it would do for the economy. Talk about compulsive gamblers, people who loose everything not to mention that it can draw crime as well. I would rather have something that would be good for the community as a whole.
