Hitting the jackpot

Bully for Brad Bumsted for pounding the governor for sneaking by taxpayers a provision of Pennsylvania's new gambling regulations that will allow members of the Gaming Control Board to hold onto their current jobs even as they collect a $145,000 annual state salary. Today's Trib also tells us that the state is spending $7.5 million to create a new state police unit to monitor casinos.

Why do I feel that the odds the public will actually benefit from the slot partlors keep getting longer and longer?
