State lotteries steady amid poor economy CINCINNATI (AP) Unlike declining gambling revenue at race tracks and casinos, many state lotteries are enjoying steady sales amid the u.s. recession. . In Ohio. lottery officials say a new game and tie-ins with · gas stations are probably_helping to prop up sales. · Lotte.ry ttckets are often impulse buys , and motorists are more likely to drop a few dollars on tickets as long as gasoline prices remain low. · ''Gas prices affect every- thing a station sells - Cokes, snacks and lottery tickets." said David Gale. executive director of the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteties, headquartered in Geneva, Ohio. "I would say it's definitely affecting lottery sales. but to what extent l don't know." The average price of unleaded regular on Wednesday was $1.88 a gall'on in Ohio. according to AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. It was twice that in September, and the price hit $4 in July. State-run lotteries. for the most part. are not suffering the kind .of downturn as other forms of gambling. Wagering at race tracks nationwide was down 1.6 percent in January after falling 7.2 percent in 2008. mostly in the second half of the ·year as the economy worsened , according to Equibase Company, which tracks the industry. .Community Calendar : Public meetings Monday, Feb. 16 LETART FALLS Letar!

In Ohio. lottery officials say a new game and tie-ins with · gas stations are probably_helping to prop up sales. · Lotte.ry ttckets are often impulse buys , and motorists are more likely to drop a few dollars on tickets as long as gasoline prices remain low. · ''Gas prices affect every- thing a station sells - Cokes, snacks and lottery tickets." said David Gale. executive director of the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteties, headquartered in Geneva, Ohio. "I would say it's definitely affecting lottery sales. but to what extent l don't know." The average price of unleaded regular on Wednesday was $1.88 a gall'on in Ohio. according to AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. It was twice that in September, and the price hit $4 in July. State-run lotteries. for the most part. are not suffering the kind .of downturn as other forms of gambling. Wagering at race tracks nationwide was down 1.6 percent in January after falling 7.2 percent in 2008. mostly in the second half of the ·year as the economy worsened , according to Equibase Company, which tracks the industry. .Community Calendar : Public meetings Monday, Feb. 16 LETART FALLS Letar!

Meanwhile. payroll taxes paid by minimum-wage employees are almost 16 perce,nt. . Any questions ? Together. tht) centrists slashed billions from the stimulus in a ham-fisted fashion .

But, hey. it's definitely bipartisanship. and Obama asked for 11. dido 't be? Moreover. this is exactly how the American system was designed to work .

Yes, Reagan cut income taxes; he also nearly doubled Social Security. · and Medicare tuxes. That's wby it's nonsense to object because workers who pay little or no income tax get tax credits under the Obama plan.

Unlike GOP senators and · congressmen performing Washington political the-. atre, governors have payrolls to meet. · Cutting $20 billion ·for school construction and· another $8 billion to mak.e federal government buildings energy efficient also makes no sense whatsoever. We're talking about a million jobs in the construction trades, not to memion better education and cost-saving energy efficiency. . But, hey. it's definitely bipartisanship. and Obama asked for 11. dido 't be? Moreover. this is exactly how the American system was designed to work .
