Perhaps the state of Ohio should consider accepting credit cards and/or debit cards for the sale of lottery tickets. The revenue increase could be dramatic and certainly any increase would benefit our schools. I travel to Canada frequently, and the sales of Canadian lottery tickets is by cash, credit cards or debit card sales. Perhaps socialized medicine is not the only thing that the Canadians know a thing or two about!
There are far more sophisticated people in the political know, than many of those commenting here. Perhaps the national shows want to interview James Traficant because they are far closer to the truth, regarding their knowledge of our highest political offices. They may be interested in someone like James Traficant out of respect for his unwillingness to be defeated by the system, and his willingness to speak for what he believes are government wrongs. James Traficant is no innocent, but his wrongdoing does not equate to being wrong about what he speaks of through his experiences in high-level politics. Do not be so narrow minded to think that he is nothing but an ex-con, closing your eyes to the problems of this country is what makes Youngstown look bad, not James Traficant alone.
