Fairly predictable

Well, various Tribal People have been muttering that the narrow (52% to 48%) defeat of the slot machine initiative is due to racism.  While I have no doubt that at least 4% of any given demographic is racist, I think the cause is more classist than racist -- as noted yesterday, the opposition is based in a galaxy far, far away from Washington County, a galaxy where people have actual, you know, jobs available...

One of the theoretical arguments advanced by CasinosNO! is that gambling doesn't represent "economic development."  Dude, in Washington County a job changing sheets on motel beds counts as economic development.
