No on Casino Props.

I know I'm just jumping to another random topic, but I can't help it. My mind gets all over the place and California's got a lot of strange things on the ballot again.

Anyway, it would be sort of nice to have the largest casinos in America right next door to my parents in Riverside county, but there are many reasons to vote no.

1. No minimum wage. There seems to be some sort of funky exemption that means these casinos don't have to pay what everyone else needs to get paid.
2. No Cal OSHA. These casinos have also been exempted by workplace safety regs.
3. No unions. Although unions are "encouraged". That means there isn't going to be anybody to argue for workplace safety or minimum wage.

Yeah, the state would earn some cash as would 4 of the 100+ indian tribes in California, but that doesn't seem like enough.
