Gambling’s collateral damage

Gambling’s collateral damage

EDITOR:

After reading the article in “How We See It” on the editorial page about Issue 3, I was inclined to write. My father was a gambler and took every dime we had to feed his addiction. This left us with barely enough to eat, or a place to live. It was a terrible life, no one can imagine unless they’ve been there.

I know people who take lots of money that should go for bills and things and spend it on the lottery hoping to hit the big one. All they need is another place to gamble!

The article stated “the house never loses”. I can add to that “except the house the gambler lives in.” Vote no on Issue 3.
