In 2012 Pa's casinos earned $2.47 billion in slots revenue. $1.3 billion of that amount was as tax revenue. PA. was second only to Nevada in gambling revenue. Unfortunately Gettysburg made no contributions to that revenue.

Every time one of our citizens went to a Casino in another part of the State!  But I guess we make up for it in the Benefits we receive from the Casino Revenues throughout the State, don't we? Umm, we do get benefits, don't we? |

So I suppose 100,000 out of 2,000,000 is a good number?
Pennsylvania has almost 2 million citizens over age 65 (2007 Census)
By 2020, Pennsylvania\’s 60 and older population is expected to be 25% of the total population — more than 3 million people. By 2020, the number of people age 85 or older is expected to increase 10% to more than 360,000 residents. ( 2007 Census)

Just for you dear, I was bloviating. God, I hate it when people do that in public. Especially when there's no place to wash one's hands afterward.  |

I just wanted the PAGCB to make the right decision based on what was best for the total net state revenue. I HOPED that would equal Gettysburg but apparently if did not. I hope the state made the right decision. I just did not want to see them intimidated by small batch of loonies that would like to see this whole area lose it's freedoms just due to proximity to the battlefield. Let's hear more about that stupid buffer zone those clowns were backing, lol. How unamerican was that?

Oh, I think they are still making half-hearted stabs at trying to get a buffer. Fortunately the majority of our legislators see it as trampling on individual freedoms as well. Plus, their main supporter, Paul Clymer, has left the building (retired). |

I just got an e-mail from him telling me he is going to start a weekly e-mail to keep people informed of his activities and what is going on with the state legislature? |

I thought he was retiring at the end of his current term. Yet another argument for term limits on another note.  |

I did read Lifesavers before posting this. I was hoping his daily activities included nothing more than going to the bathroom, fishing, eating, sleeping and commiserating with his buddy Kearney. |

Buffer zones around historic districts already exist in various other places, and amazingly sometime the restrictions placed on them are more extreme than those imposed within the historic district itself. Yeah, I thought unConstitutional as well, but they have stood up to the test of time over several decades without being overturned.
However, under the current federal administration, term would not be unConstitutional. It would be unCommunist Manifestorial.

Can you provide examples and were these zones self imposed by the locals or imposed upon them? |
