Indiana collects $9.6 billion from gambling since 1989

State rakes in $9.6 billion in gambling.

Nice article in the Indianapolis Star on gambling income for the state of Indiana. After all who could be against all that money coming into state coffers, especially when large numbers of those gamblers are from out of state? I do have some questions that the Star does not address.

1. This casino money was supposed to lower taxes and help schools. Where are those numbers?

2. Addiction to gambling is a known problem. This article does not even ask that question.
