Asked at Massachusetts Street on January 07, 2007
“I don't think I really have a problem with casinos in Kansas. I think they can bring revenue into the state, and I understand there can be a downside but nothing that people don't do anyway.”
— Beth Wagstrom, Kansas University doctoral student, Lawrence
“It's hard because they bring in so much money and so many benefits. But my concern is the harm that they do to people who get addicted to gambling and thereby harm themselves and others.”
— Gordon Fitch, retired professor, Lawrence
“I'm against them. I just think that gambling is a bad thing, and I don't think we need it around. That's just my moral position on the matter.”
— Charlie Knapper, Johnson County Community College sophomore, Lawrence
“I don't see any problem with them. People who want to go would go even if it was out of state, and they bring in a lot of money.”
— Maggie Barnes, Kansas State University freshman, Lawrence
