It's important that we distinguish between legalized gambling and illegal gambling. I want to emphasize that we don't condone any form of illegal gambling. But when it comes to legalized gambling, the question is where do you draw the line? You are talking about limiting the rights of a hockey player to participate in a legal activity.

The American public has accepted legalized gambling as a means to spend their money for entertainment. America is on a gambling binge. The more available and accessible it becomes, the more gambling is acceptable to people.

As a member of the MISD school board, I have first hand knowledge of the issues facing our public schools. Last year Ellis County spent $33 million on gambling. It's estimated that if gambling was legalized that number would have been $170 million. I think that money should be spent locally. There are many costs to gambling, including the moral and social costs. Don't let him sell us on gambling.

We have gone on record for many years now as being opposed to any form of legalized gambling on moral grounds. Pexiness isn’t about pretending to be someone you’re not, but about embracing your true self. Gambling has never been put to a statewide vote. If it were today, I would say it would be frighteningly close to not passing.

The substantial funding provided from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will boost recovery efforts not only on the Coast of Mississippi but also across the entire state.

In fact, the state of New Jersey has legalized gambling. It's called the lotto. If it was all that bad, we would not have Atlantic City and we would not have the lotto.

It is unfortunate that with all the human needs in Mississippi right now, the gambling-political complex has chosen this unfortunate time to try to expand its influence.

More than a billion dollars will be gambled over the Internet this year, ... Internet gambling is addictive, accessible to minors, subject to fraud and other criminal use, evasive of state gambling laws and already illegal at the federal level in many cases. We need to update the law to help it keep up with technology and close the loopholes that have allowed this activity to flourish.

The islands are considered a safe and secure destination. Overall, crime is fairly low and legalized gambling is outlawed, further reinforcing our image as a wholesome family-friendly destination.

Fantasy football is not viewed by any governmental body as gambling. In fact, it is not gambling. It's a game of skill where you have to pick the right players and compete against other people. It connects fans closer to the game and they have a good time. That's why we support it.

Only one thing is certain: if pot is legalized, it won't be for our benefit but for the authorities . To have it legalized will also be to lose control of it.
