As a junior congress person you have been asked to help promote a bill to allow casino gambling in your state. There is much opposition to this bill. Using distributive bargaining, discuss the pros and cons which might arise toward the passing or defeating of this bill.

please read the discussion question carefully. The question is NOT fully about the merits or negatives of casino gambling.

How would you use distributive bargaining to help defeat or pass the bill? Either side is ok. There is no right or wrong answer. It's your opinion - just support it with resources.

Example: casino gambling may bring in crime and drugs But it also can bring in money and jobs.

To satisfy concerns over crime and drugs - perhaps the bill can be negotiated to include funds for additional police and security and for additional social workers and programs to deal with potential drug or gambling addiction.

In distributive bargaining there are usually winners and losers. But a good deal maker can use leverage to ensure those on the other side get something positive for it that satisfies their concerns. If you supported casino gambling bill and you needed a vote from someone who did not support it you could offer up creative solutions to win the person over to your side.

Just food for thought. I look forward to your creative solutions. Please don't just debate the pros and cons. Your analysis needs to go further into negotiating using distributive bargaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

I would promote the establishment of the Casino Gambling Bar in my state and plan my arguments for discussion on the following items:

Casino deserves to play in the State:

More collection of revenue in the form of tax for the administration.

Tourist inflows on weekends, which lead to additional state revenues.

Boost in other businesses, such as casinos, pubs, car parks, gas sales, beer sales and expanded road tax collection.

Improved prospects for jobs.

The increased income selection will create a tourist attraction for the state residents, such as the ocean or a lake.

The demerits I can list and probably face during the argument are:

Concerns of law and order: Night operations are improved and provisions for the Casino Licensing are complied with.

It can increase drug trafficking. Education shall be taken by the police and other law enforcement agencies.

Drug addicts can harm the state: police take care. drug addicts.

Nightlife can be achieved for neighboring residents. Credit shall be taken on night patrols.

Can increase the number of road accidents caused by drunk driving.

Case that Casino Gambling is not new to America. Any real and concrete ties to ill effects such as opined use, drug trafficking and other ill effects are only attributed to a gaming casino.

If all the negative effects expected or perceived by the law enforcement agency are tracked, all the negative effects may be entirely eradicated and savings can be gained from increased revenues by the state.

Discussions with all state machinery must be held before the property is transferred to the casino and the police office can also provide its guidance during this time.
