I wonder what group/groups are funding Dick Days as a lobbyist for the Racino.

Obviously the Vikings and Cantebury are, but I wonder if there are more behind the scenes players.

I’m thinking there is underlying resentment by some behind the success of Mystic Lake and the benfits to the tribal members.

If there are, and jelousy is a factor-SHAME ON YOU!

Tribal members-You got, others want it and I’m going to help you keep it.

I VOTE!

After lining the pockets of Billionaire Viking owners so that millionaire players can play in a new stadium, the private enterprise of Canterbury Downs will also make more money. Just another backdoor effort to get more gambling into the state. The horses can run quite well already without slots at Canterbury.

If Senator Day wasn’t a threat to the status quo, he would not be attacked by Racino opponents. If someone wants to question ethics, perhaps they should look at the millions of dollars in campaign contributions from Minnesota’s current casino interests.

Senator Day has never been the brightest bulb on the Capitol marquee. Incapable of critical thought, he’s just another one of these people who truly believes that if his gut tells him it’s okay, then it must be so.

To see where that aspect of one’s character gets us, look to the glorious results of G.W. Bush, Jr. Lacking Jr.’s contacts and smarts, his career has topped out, so he might
as well take his pension and lifetime health care benefits and go make some money.

fwiw, he’d be less dangerous than Tim Pawlenty as Governor, since he lacks true mendacity.
