A column from the Alabama Policy Institute’s Gary Palmer:
Gambling interests, under the innocent name the Sweet Home Alabama Coalition, have launched this massive TV, radio and direct mail ad campaign to confuse and mislead Alabamians into believing that legalizing casinos will not only end illegal gambling, it will be the answer to every financial problem in this state. Based on this logic, the Mexican drug cartels should launch a multi-million dollar ad campaign to eliminate illegal drugs by getting the Alabama State Legislature to legalize crack houses.
