Associated Press: For the fifth time in 20 years, voters will be asked whether they want to expand gambling in Ohio, and the campaign again centers on the economy. Voters defeated a proposal last November to put a casino in southwest Ohio, rejecting arguments that it would give a boost to an economically downtrodden state. In 1990, voters quashed a proposal to build a casino resort. This year, at a time of even higher unemployment at 10.8 percent, Penn National Gaming promises 34,000 jobs and $651 million in tax revenue from putting casinos in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo. Backers are going directly to voters instead of trying to persuade lawmakers to approve their plan, and want the casinos written into the state Constitution, which restricts gambling. It is the most high-profile state ballot issue among the three going before voters on Nov. 3. Another would set up a bipartisan board to oversee the care of livestock, while a third would enable the state to issue bonds to award bonuses to veterans of the Iraq, Afghanistan and Persian Gulf wars.
