Conservatively Speaking

State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.

Oh my goodness, look what we are number one at!

Two years ago, I wrote a column predicting “an outrageous explosion of gambling, the likes of which Wisconsin has never seen. Tourism brochures can start describing the Badger State as the Las Vegas of the Midwest.”  

I specifically pointed to the Potawatomi Bingo Casino in Milwaukee and how its massive expansion flies in the face of voters and the Wisconsin Constitution.

Just how big was the growth at Potawatomi? Here is the most recent ranking of the top 10 largest Indian casinos.

So we should close the casino (which according to that site is the largest employer in the City) and not have the state collect almost 50 million dollars a year in revenue from the casino (far more than any business in the state pays in taxes)?  

If you don't like the casino, don't go there, but let people make their own decisions.
