My grandpa, a World War II Veteran, lived in Kansas City his whole adult life. He saw ballot measures come up over and over to legalize river boat gambling, and it failed for decades. Another initiative would always crop up a few years later.
In 1992, when the innocuously named “Proposition A” finally passed, these monstrous “riverboat casinos” were built all along the Missouri riverfront.
He said before he died, “it’s funny, once it passed, there weren’t any more votes on it”.

And that’s how this stuff becomes legal.
