Riversweeps In 1973 California Governor Reagan said, “I would hate to ascertain legalized gambling in California, nor do i like a lottery. We need to finance the state by the strength of our people and not by their weaknesses.”
Look where time and legalization has taken us! A once California now teeters on the ragged fringe of bankruptcy and thousands of families lives are adversely suffering from gambling addiction. the bulk of politicians have gambled away our future and given us gambling outlets that are daily destroying families lives and their futures. we’ve fed a growing monster that now feeds on us and is protected and courted by most of our legislators .
Trouble spelled with a capital T is true here in river city! it’s gambling in our town and every one around our country and therefore the world. Its subtle, invasive, destructive and addictive forces are evident in many communities round the world. Even church goers are participants with the rationalization that gambling is “harmless recreation”. it’s not a matter of legality, but one among morality for those that prefer to know the facts and are committed to wise stewardship.
