This casino expansion at Newport is clearly another "38Studio" scheme on steroids.

This casino expansion at Newport is clearly another "38Studio" scheme on steroids. Yes, the behaviors exhibited recently at the RI General Assembly send us a warning of another clear and present danger to RI citizens. Let us look at the facts recently reported in the press;
"One in four people employed by Atlantic City’s faltering casino industry could lose their jobs by this fall as the owners of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino confirmed Saturday that it could join three other properties in closing if a buyer is not found."

"Experts say the impact of losing an estimated 7,800 jobs since the January closing of the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel would ripple across the region and hurt the resort’s marketing efforts in an already stagnant economy." Add to this the fact that the casinos in CT are both on the finical ropes today!

Clearly RI is now embarked on following yet another fools gold magical thinking (Casino Gambling) in attempting to further expand funding supporting a totalitarian socialist agenda including their welfare delivery industry via such this corrosive gambling an already failed business model. Only the RI voters can reject this continuation of behaviors leading to more of policies and practices that have already destroyed a significant portion of the fabric that once created and sustained RI.
