Yeah - I'm not expecting a veto.

It's Crist, by the way. Not to be confused with Jesus.

It started with lawmakers trying to come up with ways to generate revenue in a state whose economy is teetering on disaster.

Our economy is doing great ... it's our property taxes that SUCK.

They've got a special legislative session starting next month ... running two weeks to address the tax relief issue. Hopefully some more gambling concessions will come out of that special session.

It's great compared to like Kazakhstan. At least I haven't had to buy a horse to drag my car around. Yet.

I'm a transactional lawyer and I'm slammed busy ... so I think it is ... the real estate sector is taking it in the shorts ... but that's ThreeBeers's problem [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Telltale signs of a crappy economy:

Inflation
Rising fuel prices
Rising interest rates
Home foreclosures
Business closings
Tight job market
Expansion of gambling laws
Busy lawyers

Does anyone know where the nearest poker room in Florida is, if I'm coming from GA? Sorry for the off beat question, I just didn't want to start a new thead that would be completely worthless.

It depends on what part of Georgia you are coming from. Here's a link to a map of parimutuels in Florida, the ones marked with a "C" have cardrooms: Florida Parimutuel Locations .
