FLASHPOINT for Aug 08, 2006

There's not much left to say about those gubernatorial debates that hasn't been said by reporters, columnists and bloggers. But there was one priceless section on the Democratic side that showed two contenders desperate to conceal their squirming. Dina Titus and Jim Gibson were asked about raising gaming taxes, and neither could jump fast enough to suck up to gaming. We don't need new taxes because there's a surplus. Maybe we can look at it in the future. Everything is on the table. The bigger casinos make more money than the little casinos. Gaming is an important part of the economy. So responsible. So thoughtful. So farsighted - as in toward campaign contributions after Aug. 15.
