Why are you crushing the charities? The General Assembly has already taken charities to the brink of extinction. Bingo is declining, and most people - C3s and C4s - can't use the pull tabs. Poker is the only lifeline we have. Charities who take care of medical research, or education, or at risk youth, or religious outreach are being strangled. Aren't these issues important to you anymore? Are Casinos the only revenue stream you care about? I doubt that they will care about our local causes. Shame on you all for creating regulations that destroy a perfectly good charitable fundraising opportunity.
