Agreed with you completely. When I was a fresh grad out of UB, nothing in Buffalo offered decent pay for me to stick around to wait for my now wife to finish her schooling. being a dealer at the casino afforded me an opportunity to make a living wage without having to work at chucke cheese, waitering, whatever. I'm all for the casino's. They are a major player in generating revenue both coming in, and going out. Now that I have left buffalo due to the fact there were no jobs in my field, I do miss it, but unfortunatley there are NO JOBS in buffalo. Bring on the casino. Anybody with/without a college degree making less than 35k/yr in buff ought to be waiting in lines to sign up for work. Great job, good benefits, cool atmosphere. If you are against the casino, what other alternative do you provide besides vacant slum buildings that can match the revenue?
