Here is an excerpt from an article I saw in a local newspaper about my hometown and the scourge, which is about to further plague that troubled and impoverished city.
Casino
gambling with its glitz, new jobs and attraction for troubled gamblers is
coming to Cleveland, one of America's poorest cities, and experts agree the
convenience will increase the number chronic gamblers willing to lie, cheat or
steal to get a poker fix.
The bottom line is that gambling will hurt rather than
help the urban areas. Crime will increase. Families will be torn apart.
Homelessness will mushroom. Nothing good will come from the casino, except maybe
to line the pockets of owners and the politicians, who are in the pockets of
the owners.
