| It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know there are a huge number of people that drive west on I-10 to go to Biloxi in order to Gamble. It also doesn't take a scientist to know that someone wanting to gamble that has the option of going to Biloxi or Destin to do it, is going to go to Destin. Why would anyone go to Biloxi to do something they could do in Destin, FWB, Panama City Beach, P/cola Beach, or any other beautiful gulf front area of the panhandle? Florida's greatest revenue source is tourism, and it amazes me that the state of Florida allows the number of people that drive thru the panhandle to get to Biloxi to gamble...to do it without having an option of doing it somewhere in Florida. Amazing. Biloxi is a sewer and most of the panhandle is almost perfect. I think the real estate market would be greatly effected by legalized gambling in Florida. I don't gamble, I don't see any need to risk anything I have for a potential return of 100% or a complete loss, I don't gamble. But there are alot of people that do, and they do it in Mississippi, and many drive thru Florida to do it. What's up with that?

| Casino's are generally NOT good for the immediate local area or especially on the low income locals that can least afford it...... It is hell on the local economy, I have seen numerous business lost, farms lost, destroys family's, just because of them. Now I have to say it is not the fault of the casino, it is the fault of the individual. Go to the cassino's in Greenville, MS, during MOST of the month you can find a parking spot with no problem. Go anywhere between the 1st to the 5th of the month and they are packed, pack with those that not only can't afford it, but those very ones WE support with our tax dollars. There is a reason..at least the last two times I went that locals in the Bahamas can't gamble in them.
