• In the USA local government officials, mayors and even state governors (Illinois and Louisiana) have received bribes from the gambling industry creating a huge problem.
• Before the Legislature votes on the legalisation of gambling they must allocate funds for a comprehensive and objective cost-benefit analysis.
• After casinos start operating local tax revenues decline and some local businesses fail.
• The quality of jobs provided by casinos is on average not great. Professional and objective analysis of gambling tourism at the 915 anti-gambling press conference will make it clear to the whole nation. The Anti-gambling Alliance will tell everyone the facts the government doesn't want people to know about gambling. The incompetent government can't use beautiful Penghu and our children's future like a rat in a laboratory experiment.
