If Idaho was to legalize slots it would appear to me that we would have an 
added tax source bringing in an estimated 700 million. Where did I say it was 
all strictly from slots? The state even estimates 280 million.

Do you not think that with the expansion of the gambling that there won't be 
a need for more employees? Hence, MORE taxes to the states, counties and 
cities??? They in turn will be spending more in other businesses who then 
will be able to pay more in taxes and have more employees. If this is not a 
tax benefit for our state, I do not know what is. Oh - taxing cigarettes? A 
diminishing return! We need to be working our way away from that tax.

At least in Nevada they have the dollars to keep their infrastructure strong 
and flourishing. We have streets with homes that were built in the 20's and 
the streets are still dirt!
