I’m working on a other discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
For this discussion, we are going to look at gambling/gaming (casinos, sports betting, etc.) in Texas. For many years, lawmakers have been arguing the pros and cons of legalization. Is it finally time?
Texans might be ready for casinos, but lawmakers aren’t convinced
Sheldon Adelson bets big on Texas Casinos”>Sheldon Adelson bets big on Texas Casinos
- What are the arguments for and against legalized gambling/gaming in Texas?
- Based on polling numbers, how do Texans feel about this issue?
- What roadblocks to legalization do you forsee in the 2021 legislative session? Do you think the tax argument is compelling, especially while we are in the middle of a pandemic?
- What role might campaign contributions from people like Sheldon Adelson have on the lawmakers casting votes for or against legalization of gambling or gaming? Do you think these contributions could have an unfair impact on voted? Why or why not?
- Overall, are the pros or cons most convicing? Why?
