NHPTV Voter Guide, 2012
"If any elected official does not consider the possibilty of expanded gambling, that he or she would be denying needed revenue that may well end up in other states. People will gamble regardless of the stand this legislature takes, and if expanded gambling is allowed, at least the legislature would be able to set the rules and insure certain safeguards are in place. I would cetainly consider the possibility of a limited number of venues in carefully selected areas with local approval."
