I hope they pass the amendment and ...Agreed, Steve. I hope they pass the amendment and bring early voting to a referendum next year. It'll pass with flying colors when the people actually vote on it. <BR/><BR/>And the lottery, well, we probably shouldn't really have in the first place. Expanded gambling is how the state has managed to pay for a lot of new spending over the past 2 or 3 decades, and clearly the poor and working class are the ones who pay for it. We started with one drawing a week, and now we have Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5, Keno, PowerBall, all of the card games, you name it. Selling the State Lottery to a private corporation will divest the state of the ability to directly regulate what it does, which I think is certainly not in our best interest.Byron Macfarlane for Register of Willshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12819597137435845259noreply@blogger.com
