3. Question of the Day

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has proposed to raise casino entrance fees by $1 per patron to help finance the state's veterans homes, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

A casino lobbyist, according to the report, said the proposal amounts to "a bottom-line hit of $53 million for our companies" each year and could prompt cuts in marketing, capital projects and staffing at the state's 12 casinos.

But we ask you: Would you pay $1 to enter a casino? Why or why not?
