Gambling bills, relating to horse racing and putting casinos in economically depressed areas are proposed for SC.

I sincerely hope these bills don't go anywhere. As a spokesman said in the broadcast, it might increase state revenues but will also increase public safety costs. And having gambling establishments along I-95!! I-95 is hazardous anyway, only two lanes all the way through SC. In GA and NC it's three lanes.

I was against the SC lottery, even though I get the argument that, "well, people will just go to GA and buy tickets."
Anyway, SC got the lottery some years ago.
