Rolling the Dice

Twenty years ago, Republicans opposed the North Carolina Education Lottery on “moral” grounds. Now they can’t break ground fast enough on casinos across the state.

Campaign donations are flowing like free drinks on a casino floor. Lobbyists are hitting the jackpot.

It’s not just Republicans. Some Democrats say casinos are good for North Carolina.

I’m not betting on it.
