Prince
George's County's political elite have announced their not-too-surprising
support for world-class gambling.[1] No
one doubts the benefit to National Harbor's operation; no one question that a
successful gaming addition to the complex will the State of Maryland coffers
and spin off revenue to a beleaguered county's local government. However the
claim of 5000 union jobs that pay 35,000 to 50,000 is not substantiated. In
fact it is most likely a deft conflation of hoped for employment outcomes meant
to sway working citizens who do not have the luxury of time to research statistical
information about the gaming industry.
