Who needs casinos?

To the Editor:

Now that the two major RI gubernatorial candidates have set out their respective economic development plans for the future of our state, let us not forget the handsome contribution, which these individuals, together with Mr. Taveras, Mr. Pell and Mr. Block, have already made to our economy.

The five leading candidates in the primary election alone spent over $4.4 million on television advertising up to Sept. 9. This is a sad testimony for the principles of American democracy.

Is the answer to our state’s economic woes to schedule more elections?
Who needs casinos when all you need is an election to get this much profligate spending?
