LETTERS: OPPONENETS OF RIVERBOAT GAMBLING URGED TO GO TO POLLS ON NOV. 8

To the editor:

Once again the voters of Missouri will be going to the polls to vote on the games-of-chance issue. This issue is very crucial to the future of riverboat gambling in the state of Missouri.

Therefore, I am writing this letter to encourage all opponents of riverboat gambling to go to the polls on Nov. 8 and vote no on Amendment 6. If games of chance such as slot machines can be kept out of the casinos, the casinos may not open, and if they do open, they may not remain open for very long. They will not remain open if they do not generate enough income.

Your vote does count. If you are against riverboat gambling as a way of finance government, and you are against the negative impact riverboat gambling will have in communities across our state, then get out and vote on Nov. 8. Your vote may be the one needed to defeat this amendment.
