Add Texas to the list of US states that are deeply in need of money and considering legalizing certain forms of gambling. The whole world has been hit hard and the economy has really taken it’s toll on the individual US states and their budget. Many of the states need more money and think legalizing gambling is the best way to get it.
A small expansion would mean bringing slot machines to racetracks in the state of Texas. A larger expansion would mean building large casinos that allow full blown gambling. House Budget Chief, Jim Pitts, recognizes that gambling could help and something may happen with this plan.
The budget cuts they might need to take affect education, prisons, and other state run programs. That is why they are considering gambling as the answer.
The plan may work and it may not but it’s worth a shot- I say pass this legislation. Do you agree?
