The Christiana American Legion will close for 15 days in July, the result of its fourth violation of a state law governing small games of chance.
Benner-Shoff Post No. 865 was cited Aug. 7, 2008, for "failure to maintain complete and truthful records" of its small games of chance.
Lucky for us, our progressive and orderly state has many well-trained professional enforcement officials roving the countryside keeping these gambling enterprises in check .... making sure EVERYONE follows the gambing rules.
Four separate infractions in Christiana? Either those sick and corrupt outlaws operating that sorry American Legion hall straighten up and follow the "rules", or they should be placed in jail for a long while to learn who's boss. Just because many of these recently labeled criminals are honored war veterans they should know better than to be breaking these rules .... because here in Pennsylvania NOBODY is above the law (thank goodness).
Even our Governor (a lawyer by trade) was caught not reporting income from gambling winnings ... maybe it was these tough investigators who even nailed him. Good job, even the top dog isn't safe from their prying eyes. We haven't heard yet what the Governor's punishment is - but I'm sure it's going to be a tough one, too. Maybe the capital will be shut down for 15 days (I hope the state won't come to a grinding halt).
Keep up the good work, boys ..... I hope you all continue to get raises and even more benefits for an important job well-done. Our state is a far better place due to your selfless efforts. Imagine what a wild and terrible environment the citizens of Christiana would be forced to endure if these rules were not so aggressively enforced? I don't even want to think about it, it would be too terrible to even consider, an unimaginable nightmare of epic proportions .........
