Another year, another new border casino

Expanded gambling seems no more likely to clear the Legislature in 2007 than any other year, especially with the state’s improved revenue collections. Still, legislators should be pressed on why they are content to watch Kansas gambling dollars increasingly go into others’ coffers. Coming in February: a new $8 million Osage Nation casino on about 40 acres west of Bartlesville, Okla., which feasibility studies indicate will attract Kansas gamblers with its 600 gaming machines and more.
