Tim's Talking about Casinos, Browns v. Steelers part II and Health-care Reform

Last month's survey concerning Ballot Issue Three on allowing four casinos to be built in Ohio received a large response.

Nearly 73 percent support passage of the issue. The poll showed 22 percent against and 5
percent had no opinion.

Browns vs. Steelers
With the November elections just around the corner its time to look back at the past year and gauge your feelings about the direction the good old USA is heading.

And for all those with an opinion, you will be entered in this month's drawing to win a pair of tickets to the Browns vs. Steelers game in Cleveland on December 10th at 8:00 pm.

So check out this month's survey question!

Health-care Reform...Who'll Pay?

According to the professional services firm Towers Perrin, US employers will not absorb any additional costs resulting from healthcare reform. Instead, they plan to decrease benefits, raise prices and cut jobs.

(Editor's Note: Towers Perrin is a human resource and financial consulting company. In July, the company combined with Watson Wyatt to become the country's largest human-resource consulting firm with an annual sales of about $3.2 billion. So those guys probably know what they're talking about.)



In a separate poll conducted by Watson Wyatt, 73 percent of US employers think reform will increase overall healthcare costs and 86 percent view reform as weakening the role employer sponsored plans play in providing coverage.
