Gov. "Super" Strickland & His Sidekick, AG "Damsel" Dann, Flip-Flop

Several months ago, with the assistance of Gov. Strickland, Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann went on a personal crusade to wipe out skill-based gambling machines called tic-tac-fruit. Because these machines were 51% skill-based, they were exempt from the anti-gambling establishment laws. Somehow, AG Dann figured out a way to make these machines illegal for cash payout's or prizes over $10. Many businesses closed because of this new rule and tax dollars were lost. All because it wasn't sanctioned by the State of Ohio.

Now, because of a budget deficit, Gov. Strickland and AG Dann have decided that gambling machines are not such a bad idea...as long as the state controls all the profit. They want to introduce Video Keno Machines to bars and restaurants as an extension of the Ohio Lottery.

Give me a friggin' break!

Personally, I think it's time to cash in on the gambling dollars that are lost to Detroit-Windsor and the Ohio River gambling boats. The Ohio Lottery is supposed to be "for the schools", I guarantee casino's would contribute a whole lot more to schools than the Ohio Lottery.
