    This isn't true anymore

    25-40 years ago yes

    Florida has had a huge shift in power last 15 years. Collier County/ Lee County set the agendas. It's where all the money has moved to.

    Marijuana bill was John Morgan's pet project (Collier), Rick Scott (Collier) got his man elected Governor... gambling will be here by 2022

    All cities in warm weather places getting clogged. People fleeing high tax states along with illegals overcrowding places.

    This right here is why this will move faster than people think.

    When voters in Florida took to the polls last November, they signed off on the Voter Control of Gambling amendment, which puts the power over the industry squarely in the hands of the electorate.

    Disney and the Seminoles tricked voters. thanks

    It actually makes it more difficult now.



    Read this one first:

    https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/l...aming-industry



    Now this one:

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/07/disn...amendment.html



    To be honest I'm not sure if this would affect the expansion of sports betting to existing casinos, but I'm almost positive Disney will fight that too.
