Trying to use a rather obscure, defensive posture is an unusual attempt to remedy a perceived threat to the state’s gambling revenues. But no matter how good the intention, this particular strategy isn’t something to encode in the South Dakota Constitution.

No it won’t. It will provide good jobs, more retail revenue to the eastside of Sioux Falls and on a positive note possibly close down some of those telephone booth casinos on the eastside.
This is bad legislation all around.
