Cincinnati Casino? Bet with SWNID!

We are most pleased that our bet against casino gambling making it to Broadway Commons looks set to pay off.

Today's Enquirer reports that the Ohio Attorney General's office has rejected a second petition for a ballot initiative on putting slots downtown in Our Fair City. For this, we officially forgive Jim Petro for running against Ken Blackwell and take back all of our nasty remarks about him.

The Enquirer also reports some pretty bitter but utterly predictable battles between Queen City Gaming Entertainment, Louis Beck's outfit seeking to develop Cincinnati slots, and Ohio Learn & Earn (our nomination for most dishonestly-named entity in human history), the outfit that's pushing casinos in dirty, disgusting Cleveland.

We love it when legalized criminals fight to the death!
