Casino gambling proposal in SC advances to House
A proposal to allow casino gambling in South Carolina is advancing in the State House.
The bill includes an amendment outlining how casino tax revenue would be distributed to veterans services, conservation programs, and local counties.
Supporters say the plan could generate recurring revenue without raising taxes by capturing money currently spent in neighboring states.
Critics of that idea say theyβre concerned about the social consequences of casino gambling, such as increased crime and suicide rates.
