Am I correct in hearing Dustin is going to run for governor when Beebe's term is up? If so, then we should all remember how he helped the lady get a monopoly on casino's in AR when we vote. Keep this in mind when you vote; and protector20's thoughts also.

It's interesting how Dustin McDaniel has done everything possible to make Arkansas another nanny state in the name of "protecting the consumer." Apparently that desire to protect consumers does not extend to casino monopolies.

Ever been to "Down Town" Tunica, Miss.. The whole town looks bad, don't look like gambling is paying off for them. I say NO to any gambling in Arkansas.

Same here! I also want the casino's, just no monopoly! You don't have a chance of winning when they are the only game in town.

I'm with you itsjustme; perhaps Ms. Todd is greasing the right palms? Don't sue me Bryant City officials, I'm not talking about you!

They should block it. Why should it be ok for Todd to have the exclusive rights? I'm all for casinos in Arkansas, but that right should not be given to just one person.
