The defeat of the casino-management bill isn't going to amount to much because USM and all the state's Univerisities have been prohibited from teaching casino management courses. Its a stupid ban. All we want to do is develop a a hotel-toursim program with an emphasis on the largest local industry down here. I don't see the yahoo's from Iuka turning down the tax money from casinos. They should let us train local people for management positions in the industry. Very hypocritical.
I am concerned that banning Hog-Dog fights might hurt USM's efforts to expand its athletic program :)
It is a stupid ban - private institutions will step in and state institutions will suffer. Also, support of the arts will suffer - look how the Beau is supporting the upcoming Placido concert.
