Ah, that makes a bit more sense, then. The police enforcement issue is still pants-on-head, but the money moving aspect is a bit more sensible. Though it still doesn't quite explain how distributing the tax output throughout the whole state is going to help out the local cleveland situation that is apparently getting screwed over to generate it.

Also explains where the kickbacks are going. Right into the salary! Good move, in a sense.

Somewhere between 50% and 75% of the revenue from the casinos is automatically taken as a special tax that is divided realtively equally among Ohio's 88 counties. One of the biggest reasons that the bill authorizing them was a popular one is that huge amounts of money (on the order of $1,000,000,000 each year) was crossing Ohio's borders into the casinos other states had built along the borders.

By "relatively equally", do you mean each county gets about an equal share, or the higher the population the more money they receive?  Because if it's the former, that would be a little ridiculous.

The bill created four casinos. One each in Cleveland, Cincinnatti, Columbus, and here in Toledo. With the way the system's set up, each city is expected to gain as much from the other three to make up for anything lost.

Pretty sure the division's base on population, but the bill passed two years ago, and I'm a little fuzzy on specifics.

Plus the fact that you'll be stealing the Detroit casinos' business means that there will be some benefit to you...

I don't have any images uploaded, so I don't think that's it.

So after months of my school taking forever to set up a time for me to go through their employee orientation, they schedule it at the last minute and tell us all at the last minute ._.  And they schedule it on my busiest day of the week, well done.
