Rendell's legacy?

Pennsylvania’s governor, Ed Rendell, explains why he’s the last major politician who still publicly backs giant slot machine parlors in Philadelphia:

A recent report revealed Pennsylvania slot machines are the most profitable on the East Coast, according to New Jersey casino officials.

After the results were tallied for earnings in fall 2007, The Pocono Downs was rated the most profitable. Philadelphia Park came in third, and Southwest Pennsylvania’s Meadows and Chester were fourth and fifth respectively.

Governor Rendell is thrilled at the recently released figures.

“I always knew gambling would be popular here especially with our older people who like slots,” said Gov. Rendell.
