Casinos Crap Out In Maine
Yes, sadly, there will be no casinos in Maine for at least another year. Maine voters defeated the ballot question to bring indian gaming to the state by about a 2 to 1 margin. I just don't understand. Opening casinos in this part of the world is like getting a license to steal from neighboring states. Massachusetts bleeds billions of dollars every year across the border to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. A casino in southern Maine would actually be nearly an hour closer to Boston.
Maine: Where morality meets poverty.

What Maine says: "We don't want a casino because it will tarnish our state's image. But slot machines at existing harness racing tracks? Oh well that's different now isn't it?"
If I read their thoughts properly, they've got no problem with gambling as long as the aroma of horse manure is in the air.
