... Gambling does no good for society. It sucks people in and they become addicted, go in deeper debt which in turn builds a wall between spouses causing marriages to end up in divorce. Money issues are the main cause of divorce today.

Apparently there are quite a few people who didn't understand the question or don't understand the negative effects of gambling on a person's life and family. I say that they "didn't understand the question" because I find it hard to believe knowing what I know of this school district that the people in this district would make such an erratic decision.

I for one, supported the courage and integrity of the ELANCO School Board in there decision to not take revenues from gambling. Sure, property tax relief would be great but at what expense? Taking money from people who can't afford to do what they are doing in the first place? Taking money from people who have been lured in by the colorful, flashing lights and enticing atmosphere of casinos. These people have been lured in by a society that is full of false promises of hope of winning big. In turn, they are the big LOSER, not winner.

Gambling is poor use of the resources (money) that God has given to us. Gambling does no good for society. It sucks people in and they become addicted, go in deeper debt which in turn builds a wall between spouses causing marriages to end up in divorce. Money issues are the main cause of divorce today.

For just $65 in tax relief, it is not worth the costly, long term effects of gambling. Maybe those who supported this relief should think of others before themselves.
