Save the fair with slot machines

Tuesday, January 6, 2004

I think I have the solution to the lack of attendance at the state fair. Let Johanns and the Legislature allow slot machines to be put on the grounds at fair time. These so-called conservatives would flock there, willing to give away their money at a chance to win a jackpot. They could even have bussing. This way the gamblers wouldn't have to go to Iowa, Kansas or South Dakota to lose their money, and could save the fair.
