Would a Casino Kill or Create Jobs in Ohio?

Ohioans are voting on a ballot issue to open the state to legalized casino gambling.

State Issue 6 would authorize the building of a single, 600 million dollar casino resort near Wilmington, about 40 miles from Cincinnati.

Yesterday, Statehouse Correspondent Bill Cohen reported on the prospect of an Ohio casino keeping tax dollars in Ohio so it doesn't go to other states.
