This is more of a whimsical observation than a political statement.
Personally I don't think the Beloit City Council or the Rock County Board of Supervisors gave a hoot that this week was National Problem Gambling Awareness Week when they overwhelmingly approved a proposal by the Ho-Chunk Nation for a casino in Beloit.
One of the big sale points was the promise that payments from the casino to the county/city will replace (offset) property taxes, and who would oppose that?
P.S. I'll make a safe bet right now and suggest no one should start budgeting for or count on a reduction in property taxes any time soon - or ever.
