    One committee was registered to support this initiative: Marsy's Law for Florida. The committee received a total of $30.37 million in contributions and had spent $28.42 million. Marsy's Law for All Foundation provided $30.05 million, and Henry Nicholas, the founder of Marsy's Law for All, had contributed the rest.[Ballotpedia]

I don't like Casinos or supporting casinos at all, if you let the people decide what will they do? Not sure who is worse, the politicians or the public. We have too many casinos now in FL and the USA, we do not need all of them, it is tearing apart families and causing many addiction problems in our society. So I do not support any more casinos Lynn!

I agree, except for the dog racing. First of all, what is going to happen to all of those dogs? There must be many hundreds of them. Can they all find homes, or will the owners just kill them. Secondly, that kind of thing always goes underground. Now even though I detest the sport, there is a minimum standard those tracks have to meet. What happens when they close them down?

If you can get some answers to these questions, it would be very much appreciated.

@8:37--Amendment 3 on Casino Gambling: The measure would consider card games, casino games, and slot machines to be casino gambling. The measure would not consider pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing, dog racing, or jai alai exhibitions to be casino gambling. The measure would not impact casino gambling on Native American tribal lands established through state-tribe compacts.

So, I was thinking it would not be a bad idea to have our casino back to a real casino again--have slot machines and an arcade. Then Lee Antieau would be able to go to the beach every week and the city would make $$$$ rather over-developing every thing they can.

But, you might very well be right.

I have suspected the money behind the "NO" casinos vote would come from Indian Tribes as it is their cash cow and they have an almost monopoly on it.

@8:10--that is NOT the case.
