"\[If this measure passes], we'd finally be able to reap the rewards that we've been giving our neighbor states in entertainment and gambling dollars. The overall impact is not only the tax revenue but the jobs that would be created. The ancillary work that would come with casino gambling, increased horse racing, and things like that will have a huge economic effect.", in support of Initiative Measure 431 (Learn more)
"Initiative 430 will create a state regulatory body to govern and license Nebraska casinos. The organization will be responsible for ensuring the fair and legal gaming practices at each location. The organization will also be responsible for ensuring reporting from each gaming facility is accurate and complies with all state laws. The initiative will also require that casinos are responsible for the funding of the regulatory expenses to prevent Nebraska taxpayers from taking on additional expense.", in support of Initiative Measure 431 (Learn more)
"Casinos create more gambling addicts than jobs, drain money from their host communities and increase social costs that are paid for by all taxpayers. The last thing we need right now is for casinos to worsen the heartaches and financial burdens that are being placed on Nebraska families and businesses.", in opposition to Initiative Measure 431 (Learn more)
"There are all sorts of social problems that come along with expanding gambling, which is why Nebraskans have historically rejected expanding gambling here in the state. I certainly support rejecting expanded gambling and would encourage other Nebraskans to support rejecting it as well.", in opposition to Initiative Measure 431 (Learn more)
