I dont think that the Eyman initiative is going to provide any kind of reliable income to the state. Gambling income is at best a fluctuating source of revenue.

In 2002 lottery sales plummeted by 42 million dollars and the much vaunted mega millions only brought an additional 15 million into the state instead of the 32 million predicted. I would like to also add my additional .4 in saying that I don't want slot machines on every corner. One of our only hopes in the fight against the Boldt decisions might be the income produced by the casinos that might put the nets out of business because of the revenue from gambling.
