Casinos in Philly

I feel that opening casinos in Philadelphia will have an awful domino affect on the people. First of all casinos will cause the crime rate to sky rocket, far above what we are dealing with right now. This as a result will cause a need for more police, which will mean that the city will need to give 5 million dollars to fund this. Not only will it cause crime, but it will also cause a loss in good jobs. Though they argue that it will give more jobs, in actuality the jobs it will provide will not be able to sustain a family so they are almost worthless. For a city so concerned with the reducing crime and poverty, you would think that more preventative acts would be taken. This is extremely upsetting to me, a Philadelphian who is scared right now without casinos to be at home.
