The Casino and lotto money was supposed to go to education.
It does. Let me explain how this all works since I actually work for a casino/race track.
We make, say $1 zillion a week in state profits as an example. That is low but you will get the idea. This zillion dollars then goes directly into the education budget. The State thumps their chest and tells all the voters that "We just added a zillion dollars to education!. You're welcome, vote for me..." The education budget is then instantly decreased by the state by a zillion dollars which goes into the general fund. This general fund as is in all states, goes into the politicians special pork projects, like new yachts for the cousins and spouses on the lottery/gaming commissions. All of which are appointed by the party controlling the purse strings that year.
see, it's really simple to follow, all the state's shares of gambling profits actually end up in the education budget.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.
