Paul I. Clymer, Pennsylvania House of Representatives

"If legalized casino gambling is to become this administration's legacy, be assured it will not be a
legacy of wealth and prosperity. The casino will see to that.
Rather, future generations will have
inherited a government ridden with strife
and beholden to powerful gambling interests who will
call the shots and the slots."

"The gambling octopus can never be satisfied. Never!
The record is clear.
The gambling addict begs, borrows and steals to feed his addiction.
The only winners are the slot owners.
Pushing your agenda for casino gambling is not economic development.
The state will not achieve any new wealth; it will only inherit the wind.
Pawn shops, gambling's parasite, will be one of the few
industries to benefit from slots."
