Catalyst or Victim...Time for Nevada to Choose

Casinos in Nevada continue to be a bad bet.  Not only are they taking a beating from the financial depression we are in the middle of as we bounce along the bottom as well as the continued proliferation of online and Indian gaming, the IRS continues to put a squeeze on winnings while making it harder to write off losses.  

I am not a gambler, though I do have money in the nation's largest combined gambling den/brothel (Wall Street).  Nevada leaders need to wake up and make the investment necessary to move our state forward in the business world. 

Economies and their dynamics change.  Our state can either be a champion or victim of it. I love the quality of life that Northern Nevada affords us.  What can we do to create the same quality for next-generation employers and employees?
