Letter: Nuke waste will affect gaming, too

Thursday, Sept. 2, 1999 | 9:44 a.m.

Just tell them what they want to hear: "Rest assured there'll be no new gaming taxes and no new gaming regulations. Blah, blah, blah."

Let me ask those gaming patsies: Did you bother to listen when Hastert said he still favors Yucca Mountain as a nuclear waste storage site?

If that happens and an accident occurs (which it will, given the caliber of today's workers) at Yucca Mountain, gaming won't have to worry about being taxed or regulated against.

Fellows, you'll bite the dust with the rest of us.
