Voinovich Opposes Slot Machines

United States Senator George Voinovich is so opposed to slot machines in Ohio that he is back on the campaign trail. He is not up for re-election, but he wants people to realize the dangers of bringing slot machines to Ohio.

He wants the voters of Ohio to realize how much is at stake by bringing in slot machines to the state. He is fundamentally opposed to Issue 3, and no matter what claims they make he knows that slot machines are not worth it. He says that although the group is saying that they will bring in millions of slot machine revenue for college scholarships, they will also bring in social ills that the state cannot afford to handle.

He says that the bringing in of slot machines will negatively affect Ohio’s families. He says that they need to “work on the strengths that are in the community” already, and that is how they will help students. He alleges that the group says they are bringing in jobs, but they are low paying jobs that won’t help their community.

His fear is that with the millions that the Learn and Earn group is spending on TV ads that Ohioans will see them and think that this solves all of their problems, which of course it will not. He said it is like giving candy to a baby and then asking them not to take it.
