Don't do it!
 

Please vote against the gambling expansion! I grew up a few blocks from a casino and I noticed a significant change in our community after it was built. Several pawn shops sprung up right after it opened and are still opperating now. There was an increase in thefts in the area and in hopelessness. Gambling is addictive and the deeply people involved in it are largely unable to control and self-regulate this addiction. The victims will be their spouses, their children and our communities!
