Should NH authorize one or more casinos?
"I am undecided on this. Having lived in New Jersey I saw the good that casinos did to bring tourism into the state but I also saw the bad caused when low income people used their pensions to try to make money, or the casinos not standing up for their promises to help communities and the state."
