Where's the Water?

It looks like State 29 beat me to this story. Oh well, here's my version.

I read yesterday in the Des Moines Register about the new casinos in Iowa not being on rivers. To comply with state law one of the new casinos was built on just 6-12 inches of water.

"Most of them(casinos) will have some type of a water feature, but the customers probably wouldn't know it when they are on the casino floor, although it kind of depends upon the facility," said Jack Ketterer, administrator of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission.

Maybe it is a good thing there is not any more water features at the new casinos. With the polluted waterways in Iowa, it might have been a health risk to the patrons of the casinos. At least the state decided against polluting the rivers anymore and built the casinos elsewhere.
