In a letter distributed to Texas lawmakers today, Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform again threw his support behind gaming as an alternative to tax increases next session.

After citing all the federal tax increases likely to come down the pike next year, Norquist wrote, “The benefits of incorporating the gaming industry into the Texas economic portfolio are too significant to ignore.  Not only would it be preferable to job-killing tax increases, it would actually lead to job creation.”

Norquist’s complete letter can be found here.
