Huffington Post hosts a discussion on the impact of casinos on city economies
Continuing the thread on the possible approval by the BIA of the Spokane Tribe's proposed casino in Airway Heights, here's a little online discussion covering the debate over how gambling helps or hurts city economies.
It's on Huffington Post. It's not long, it's a bit scattershot, and it totally avoids the local issues involved in this community, the tribal history of gambling and the need for economic diversity among tribal governments.
The BIA hasn't said when it will make the formal "record of decision" on the request. If approved by the Interior Department, the request then needs the approval of Gov. Jay Inslee.
