As opposed to say "progressive" states like Massachusetts, California, Maryland,
Vermont, New York, Oregon, etc. that have been SO ahead of the ball in building
state casinos....
If you really want a laugh, see which party has this platform for "hope and change":
* Worker's rights such as full employment, higher minimum wage, shorter work week and ending outsourcing.
* The creation of a "Bill of Rights for Labour" enacting socialist economic rights.
* Higher taxes for those with higher incomes; lowering taxes for those of lower incomes.
* Electoral reform, dissolving the Canadian Senate, enacting MMP, set voting age to 16.
* Expand public ownership and reverse privatization such as ending P3 programs.
* Nationalize energy and natural resources and shift emphasis from fossil and nuclear sources to renewable energy.
* Peace and disarmament, ending involvement in Afghanistan and Libya and withdrawing from NATO and NORAD.
* Preserve and expanded public health care in Canada as well as other social programs and poverty reduction.
* Environmental reforms and climate change measures.
* Anti-globalization such as pulling out of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
* Expanding public housing and banning evictions and foreclosures due to unemployment.
* Repeal state security legislation like the no-fly list; more public monitoring of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
* Strengthen Aboriginal and French Canadian rights and recognition.
* Fight gender inequality and expand the rights of women and homosexuals and transexuals.
* Expand public education and other youth rights.
* Racial equality, including immigration reform.
* Support family and organic farming.

It's not just MS -- conservative state legislatures (or, as often, legislators
with conservative constituents, their own leanings notwithstanding) have made
this mistake in most states with "riverboat gambling". They see the revenue
potential, and want it (especially if a neighboring state is currently getting
the money from their state's residents), but don't want "legalized gambling" in
their state (of course ignoring the lottery as such and welcoming that - among
other such sources). So they pretend that if it's on a riverboat, it's
entertainment, but not if it's on land, then it's gambling.
