Support for casinos holding at 53 percent
With 78 percent of the state’s precincts reporting, voters were approving Issue 3, the four-casino plan, 53-47 percent. Those were the latest results posted by Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner at 11:15 p.m.
Support was strong for the plan in three of the four casino counties - Cuyahoga, Hamilton and Lucas- while Franklin County voters were rejecting it by a big margin.
Locally, voters in Montgomery, Preble, Clark. Warren and Butler counties were approving the plan while voters in Miami, Greene, Darke and Champaign counties were turning it down.
The casinos could open by 2012. The plan would permit casinos in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo.

Although the casinos are good for Ohio, this plan was not right. What Ohio needed was to create a gaming commission and have companies bid on Casinos and locations individually. This will help the areas where the casinos are located but will not help the communities, such as Dayton, where on is also needed.
