I have noted that legislators are calling for no new taxes. I agree with this for the most part. However, can they explain to me why they granted Native American casinos the exclusive rights to sports betting where no taxes are collected? Of all the states that allow sports betting Washington is the only one that gets no taxes from wagers. Fix this now and allow more outlets and collect taxes.
