Kudos to the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission on their 4-to-1 vote to reject a casino license to Cedar Rapids. Perhaps the gaming commission thought Cedar Rapids was already reaping enough profit on their 'casino cameras” on the Interstate 380 city limits.
Hopefully, all the casino supporters kept their receipts for the white shirts and can return them for a refund.
If the casino supporters are still wanting to keep gambling money in Cedar Rapids, why don't they paint the word casino on a Dumpster and install it on the proposed site? That way they can throw their money in and save lots on gas money not driving to other casinos.
