They probably heard much more about substance abuse than they did about gambling addiction. Most likely if gambling addiction was ever mentioned, it was probably only once. Here are the facts they never heard. Compulsive gambling, also called gambling disorder, is the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on your life. Gambling means that you’re willing to risk something you value in the hope of getting something of even greater value. Gambling can stimulate the brain’s reward system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction. If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, use up savings and create debt. You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. Your life will no longer be charming. Don’t think you can never bet too much on a winner. You will quickly find out you can’t. Rally together and fight this proposed casino in Nassau County! Don’t just hope for the best that someone else will do it.

Nassau County tried to rush this through to avoid scrutiny and got caught. Las Vegas Sands picked the absolute worst location in the downstate NY area – a very congested suburb with no major highway nearby, no mass transit and that is next top colleges and a Catholic high school.

The residents of Nassau Co don’t want a casino despite what Blakeman tells you.

The truth is that there is no grass-roots support for this project. Special interest groups and political pressure are behind this. So much for Mr Blakeman’s pledge to go forward on it only if there was widespread community support.
