I think the promise of "new money" for the state is misleading. When Rossman says there will be money spent at the casino, that the state gets a cut of it, this is just getting Oregonians and tourists to spend their money in a different place.

If we, the people of Oregon, think our state and schools need more money we need to commit to that need by voting for taxes and paying 100% of the cost, not allowing someone else to run a business with a promise of some percentage going to what we should be stepping up to do.
