Back in the 80's that if we went wet there would be drunks all over the road, that the crime rate would go up, that it would be unsafe to even walk out of your doors. We were told all kind of lies, by the religious fanatics about how bad things around here would be if we ever went wet. Will, it just did not happen. Look at all the fine restaurants that have came here because of it, DUI rates are not near as high as it was when all the people use to drive to the state line and do their drinking. And I for one do not approve anyone getting behind the wheel after drinking. Look at the tax money we are now getting, that the state line people no longer gets, our city "Florence", ranks as one of the safiest cities in the nation. Now the same people are telling you about all the evils of gambling, and I will for one will tell you, that most of you have spent more money on a meal, than I have spent on lottory tickets. This may come as a shock, I am not 100% for gambling, but if people are going to waste their money, they might as well waste it here in our state, and not in another state. So all these lies about how gambling will destory lives, are some of the same lies we heard back in the 80's when certain people did not want this area to have legal sales of alcohol here. Good day, and set your clock bad one hour.
