The Kansas Gambling Law I’d Vote For

by Bob Weeks on July 24, 2007

in Kansas state government

Here’s the one law concerning gambling in Wichita and Kansas that I would vote for: “All laws prohibiting and regulating gambling in Kansas are hereby repealed.”

That’s the only law consistent with personal freedom and liberty.

The law that has been passed, however, provides more power for the state and more opportunities to regulate our lives.

Even casino supporters concede large social costs will accompany a casino. As we have government that stands willing to pay these costs, the taxpayer will suffer these costs.

In the balance, the expansion of state bureaucracy, tax collection, and regulation, plus the social costs that the state believes it must shoulder; these considerations outweigh our freedom to gamble.
