Community Pulse: Ban on gambling Jun 25, 2009
THIS WEEK'S WEB POLL:
Should the city council overturn a 15-year-old ban and allow a more lucrative, but riskier form of gambling with cards?
■ Why not, they will go out of town to play otherwise.
■ NO!
■ Yes. If it is legal and monitored without cost to the city, then anyone who wishes to throw away money during this economy should have that right.
■ Yes. More tax revenue.
■ NO. Lucrative for some owners means a real potential for more crime, which the city doesn't need.
■ No. Those games are expensive and they are unbeatable. They will drain the money of those who play it.
