Casinos in several venues have latched onto anti-smoking ordinances as
a prime reason for revenue declines in the last year. I think that's
a crock -- as once observed in politics, "it's the economy, stupid".
Gas at record highs wouldn't have anything to do with it. The dollar
at record lows couldn't possibly be a factor. Saturation of gaming
options across the country is certainly not a variable. A hobbled
stock market wouldn't impact seniors willingness to go out and blow
money at casinos. That little mortgage issue impacting the housing
market doesn't come to mind.
Yep, let's place the blame on the anti-smoking ordinances. [tongue
firmly placed in cheek]
