I hope the City Council soundly rejects this very faulty proposal. A casino will surely cause an increase in gambling addicts in Beloit.
Few people understand how devastating gambling addiction can be.
A person can lose everything in a few days, as well as go into very dangerous debt. The family, and especially the children, of a gambling addict suffer terribly because they are also left penniless. Even a few gambling addicts can have a huge impact on a community. This is very expensive for the criminal justice system, the social services sector, and the business community. We do not need any more problems in Beloit.
