I ended up voting against slots in Broward, persuaded by the argument put forth by Broward County Mayor Kristin Jacobs that there were just too many unanswered questions. The Legislature hasn't even addressed the issue (as it must), and heavily Democratic Broward will have a more difficult time getting its fair share of gambling revenues from the Republican lawmakers now that the gaming industry doesn't have to lobby legislators for a good deal so as to encourage local support.
