Strike Up a Loss for the Unions

It looks like the initiative to create a special tax for the Stations casino will not be on the ballot. The Las Vegas Sun has an article about it here. The union tried every trick in the book to dress up this discrimination as a service to the community.

Under the initiative, the proposed Station casino along the Mount Rose Highway or others built outside downtown, airport and convention center tourist areas would have been required to donate money to help pay off debt for the Reno Redevelopment Agency.


Required to donate, huh? The left is getting really good at finding seemingly harmless names for a new tax.

The union also wanted us to think they really cared about us and really wanted to pay off our debt. A little further into the article we find out what's really going on.

...union has been harassing the Las Vegas-based company for 15 years because its casinos are nonunion.

Luckily for us, not many people fell for it.
