Competition means jobs and much-needed revenue for Wisconsin

A few local headlines caught our attention over the past several days:

• “Area economy slows, reports indicate”

• “New unemployment claims rising in Wisconsin”

• “Area employment down for 8th month”

• “Area construction activity declines”

• “Supreme Court Decision blows hole in Wisconsin budget”

• “Wisconsin may have to borrow from feds to pay jobless claims”

Seems like as good a time as any to remind folks that casino competition in Southeast Wisconsin will:

• Create thousands of new jobs for local residents
• Provide billions of dollars in new revenue to state and local governments – more than any other Wisconsin business or tribe
• Provide more money to Southeast Wisconsin schools, nonprofits and charitable organizations
• Create a competitive, healthy marketplace where two casinos can thrive, enhance tourism, strengthen the local and state economy and benefit two Wisconsin tribes

Food for thought. Studies confirm that casino competition – rather than today’s current monopoly – would be a huge boon to Southeast Wisconsin’s economy.
