Massachusetts gambling bill down, but not out

The Boston Globe printed a nice summation of the situation surrounding the defeat of the now infamous Massachusetts casino plan.

Personally, I am confused at my own reaction to this story. Never in my life have I been happy to see a plan for casinos get shot down, but here I am. This fact epitomizes how stupid and misguided the whole plan really was.

And I'm not even talking about the bill's plan to issue jail sentences and hefty fines for those found gambling online. That was stupid, but it is a testament to the entire stupidity of this bill that something so shocking didn't even register in the main reasons for the bill's failure.

Either way, I'm glad it is gone for now, but I'm also pretty certain we haven't seen the end of this bill. There is simply too much money being potentially thrown around and too many people who could get rich for this plan not to have a few more opportunities.
