Gaming Law Should Be Repealed

Nebraska went a little slot machine and gambling crazy a while ago, when in the 2004 election they decided to vote on several Amendments, initiatives, etc. to add slot machines and gambling to the state.

The laws they passed:

Initiative 418 that required 33 senators to change any law approved by voters through the initiative process.

Initiative 419 that set up a tax structure for casinos and slot machines.

The laws they didn’t pass:

Amendment 3 which would have allowed two casinos into the state.

Initiative 417 that clarified the right to change gambling laws through initiative petitions.

Initiative 420 that would allow two Omaha casinos and slot machines into the state.

The problem is that although the measures didn’t pass and slot machines and gambling were not allowed, the measures that tax them were. So if in the future, slot machines and gambling are approved, then the people who bring them in will have to pay a ridiculously small amount to bring in their slot machines. Why don’t lawmakers take the laws off the books? They either don’t want to, or they have forgotten they are there. Either way, it does not bode well for the voters.
