machines. I'm torn, I really think that there are more important things for the legilature to worry about, such as education and taxing retiree's pensions. But do we really want Iowa to be known for being a gambling mecca? And those machines are all over the place. Taverns, convenience stores, even at a well known grocery chain based in Iowa. In my opinion, if they are in adult establishments, where minors can't get to them, what's the harm? Please note that I rarely gamble myself simply because I don't have the money. I figure that I can walk across the bridge and throw my money into the river and have the same effect. But I am also not opposed to gambling. If that's what a person wants to do, then let 'em do it, as long as there is no addiction involved.
