It certainly was not catastrophic, but there was a discernable increase. There was an increase in crime after the casinos came.

Face it, CB is an informal extension of Omaha. Without Omaha and Omahan's patronage to the casinos, CB would still be a trailer park. Guess what “imthemaninthebox”?

If a gambling addict starts to embezzle from you or if a meth addict holds you up at gunpoint, believe me, it suddenly becomes your problem. And yes, they eventually wind up in prison, and then again, since you're paying to house them, it's your problem. Like it or not, you are your brother's keeper. And I certainly don't consider Fahey as having small town vision simply because he keeps the city finances in check and doesn't spend more than the city makes, as Daub did. I thought you republicans were supposed to be fiscal conservatives. to the manwithhisheadinthesand: saying that gambling addictions aren’t your problem is like saying that meth addictions aren’t your problem.

So you lost out on getting a store to CB....get over it. You complain about the casinos, but you had your chance to get the same benefits we enjoy over here. "casinos are a blight wherever they go" really? So Las Vegas is worse off for having casinos? The hundreds of CB people who are working there would disagree with you. The older person who is on a fixed income and can now afford to pay property taxes would disagree. "We have all of the problems and virtually none of the benefits." What problem? I'm a fan of using your head.....if you gamble away your rent thats your own problem. I think it's not our problem to help those who are too stupid to use their head. Omaha sould be worried about the crime in N Omaha instead of whinning about what CB gets. If Omaha wanted to be competitive with attracting new businesses and taking care of social problems perhaps they should have not voted for a dem mayor with a small town vision.

But it has happened at the expense of CB's soul. The casinos run that town now. How do I know? I know someone who works for one of them. The casinos are terrible entities. Well, honestly I can only speak for the one I work for but I doubt the other is much different. This casino is horrible to its employees. For one thing they have a policy of keeping turnover high and expenses low. Apparently they think they can save money by firing established employees who earn more and train new ones to replace them. Saves them on benefits as well as salary. One way they push people out the door is a policy started that tried forcing people that did not have perfect teeth to get them fixed or face termination. So a 60 yr old man that worked there who was missing front teeth was told that he must pay the hundreds of dollars to replace them or he would be fired. The man was 60 something and did not want to pay for expensive dental work when he would be retiring soon. The dental plan is not free and the coverage will not pay for very much of it. My friend tried to speak up against the unfair policy, but was reprimanded. He thought it was unfair to force employees, some of whom make only $7 an hour, to pay for expensive dental work or lose their job. He quietly tipped the media. Channel 6 did nothing and ch 3 is in this particular casino's pocket. 7 can help asked the casino about the policy, but never ran the story as far as I know. But after that the casino quieted down about the issue and released a memo ordering employees to never talk to the media and refer all media inquiries to their media relations guy. A small victory. Stay tuned, I will rant more later. Sure the casinos brought some nice things to the Council Bluffs area. But it has happened at the expense of CB’s soul. The casinos run that town now.

Firstly, I can drive to the casinos in a shorter amount of time then if I were to drive to Village Pointe. The proximity of the Iowa casinos are such that Omaha/Nebraska already has casino gambling. However, Council Bluffs has benifited from the hundreds of new jobs and the increasing tax revinue. Contrary to popular belief, I have seen no statistics that prove a correlation between casinos and crime. Also, I love to gamble. I must disagree with Meg, Abbey, and John about the gambling issue.

They simply are not going to just hand out money to just anyone, if first they do not ask for it, and second if they do not believe it is a worth wild organization. I do not have the list in front of me of what organizations have asked and have been granted money; I do know that the only name on top of my head right now is the Botanical Gardens, and I do believe that includes the new side exhibts of the trains being positioned outside.
