If we don't want ot impose "morals" on the taxpayers, then send out a tax bill with 2 different amounts and let each taxpayer choose which to pay - the one with gambling $ offset or the higher one without. I believe LocalGuy's odds would be about right for the proportion that decide each way.

Instead, Tim Shay whould impose his morals? It's one set of morals or the other. Anyone who starts a sentence like that, is doing just what they clain they don't want to do.

I believe there was the opportunity for individuals who were opposed to accepting such funds to opt out. Because of that, those who want to use this legally obtained money to educate their children are not forcing morals on anyone.

Why change the wording, it is gambling, it's gambling on when you put your coin in a slot machine and pull the handle, your gambling on whether you win money back from your coin you deposited in this machine, or whether you don't win anything at all from your deposit.

These so called politically correct fools and their wording, it is what it is, and that's just that, GAMBLING!!!... Nobody has ever changed what something is, by changing it's name.

I would suggest you actually go read the legislation before you give your emotion. I applaud the Lancaster County Board of Elections for applying the legislation as it is written.

When some school districts are handing out condoms as early as 7th grade, they have absolutely NO RIGHT to use morals as an excuse. They just want to rape the people, because they know they can and get away with it.
