Letter: Stop meddling with Seminole casinos

Monday, December 22, 2008  

"Why don't little Billy McCollum and his silly cronies pack up their toys and go home? They need to back off on their actions against the Seminole tribe and the casinos and gaming offered there.

Would they rather that we Floridians who enjoy gambling, as a form of entertainment, go back to taking our money to Nevada, Mississippi and the many other states that allow Vegas-style gaming and enrich their coffers instead of Florida's?

How stupid is it that Billy and friends want to stop the flow of Seminole dollars that are helping replenish the state budget with millions of dollars?

And who appointed them the gambling police anyway? Their moralistic conservative values are not what all of us ascribe to. There are thousands of "good and decent people" who enjoy visiting the casinos."
