Dear Governor-Elect Spitzer,
We do not want growth of gambling casinos in New York State, either in the Catskills nor in Buffalo.
Casinos nurture addition. Gambling addiction fosters poverty in proximate areas, increases bankruptcy, and increases crime.
All consequences are bad for out citizenry and add to taxpayers expense.
