Alcohol And Gambling, Enough Already | Tennessee Valley Talks

blue'sOld Faithful

Stop wasting our money and our time on it, either vote alcohol sales 24/7 and let the people decide if they want gambling in their own county or not, enough money and time is being wasted on these two issues, dang don't we have better things to be concern about, after all we are in a recession.

But if they allow that to happen, elected officials would be out of a job.

Gambling in Alabama? Heaven forbid

Even Mississippi "gets" it

I'll bet you five dollars there'll never be gambling in Alabama.

I wonder, how much money Tennessee, Georgia and Florida businesses contribute to Alabama policitians who vote against gambling to keep the lottery out of Alabama and how much it's worth to the state of Mississippi? I also wonder how much Alabamaians spend gambling in these states? Someone needs to look into how much and who it goes to.

about 2 billion a year to the gaming industry
about 200 million a year to the state in taxes.
