There is nothing more hypocritical than our current gambling situation. Every single argument against it would apply equally to the lottery but no one pays attention. And since the lottery passed, we certainly have not seen the parade of horribles the anti-gambling crowd hysterically predicts…
I work at Laurens County Courthouse. Investigation is going on about councilman Brown Patterson ordering county employees to clean his yard and drive after the Hurricane. Driveway is over a half mile. Everybody in the county knows he did it. I told truth when they asked me then I get the stink eye from Administrator Tommy Higgs when I see him at work. Patterson and Higgs are bad news. They made county workers clean his property now they in trouble with the law!!!!!
I’d love to see a dispassionate, methodical report that makes a before & after comparison of communities that allowed casino gambling to operate. I’m open to either side if well supported with facts. I tend to think that it can run the gamut in terms of outcomes – and that good law enforcement is what is key to ensure that the fraternity of other more harmful illegal vices that often follows gambling does not take hold – especially sex trafficking.

Thanks for shining light on this.
