This is a no-brainer and I hope it gets support from our lawmakers. by Ruth

Comment: San Antonio is a great family city, with outstanding tourism business for all...if gambling comes to SA...I'll move. It will bring crime and take away the class of San Antonio.

Comment: it's about time we keep the gaming money in our own state. by Daniel

Comment: I would be supportive of casino gambling if the revenue that went to the state went to something resourceful here in San Antonio. I think the best place to put it would be in our education system that is rapidly declining. Also the amount of jobs that it would create would also assist the community. When I'm from in Pennsylvania, the revenue is going back into property taxes from what I hear is working. It isn't bringing the wrong type of crowd in and is working successfully. by John

Comment: I can finally get my game ON!!! by Antwaine

Comment: The majority of the population goes to other states to casinos. Why should we not have the advantage of jobs & additional tax income to assist our state, schools, etc. by Debbie

Comment: I would so support it. I could even get a job working there by Beatrice

Comment: No, our city is known for many things, such as fiesta and the river walk, we don't need anymore, let alone something like gambling. by Anonymous

Comment: Why not? Millions of our dollars go to places like Louisiana, Oklahoma, Nevada, etc. Just because there is no legal gambling here will not keep people from gambling. Just like in prohibition - the criminal element will always be there to run it because there is money to be made. Some people are crusaders and think that by making it illegal they are saving souls. Fugedaboutit!!! by Lou

Comment: Absolutely!! Its a great way to bring fun to this city and can also boost our economy. by A

Comment: if it will benefit San Antonio schools and streets.Also that it is run by the State. why go to another state or to Eagle Pass, etc to gamble. by KAREN

Comment: Absolutely. My thought has always been since the Spurs moved out of the Alamo Dome was to make it a multi-level casino. Of the name for it would be "CASA" for "Casino Alamo San Antonio". Doesn't that just like home to you? by Adrian

Comment: Absolutely not, there is nothing good to come from having a casino in San Antonio. by Don

Comment: i would support it because even though i don't really gamble, i know alot of people that do and they are always driving far to go gambling. i would rather have the revenue stay here in san anotnio then to give it out to someone else... by r

I know this for fact having worked Casino's in Reno for years. by Bob
