[tangled]

we can see now the propaganda that the anti-gambling forces are going to use if the regs are soft. Instead of admiting that their law is stupid and impractical, they are going to blame gaming interests for sabotaging the process with dirty little backroom arm twisting:

"The gambling forces seem to have some friends in those departments that might have been helping write some of those regulations," he accused. “It’s almost setting up a fourth branch of government – a bureaucracy branch – that decides what laws they want to enforce and what laws they want to basically rewrite.”

In one way this may be good. They would not be trying to push these talking points(probably)unless they had a reason to fear that the regs were going to be soft.

We need to be ready to counter this propagnda with the truth.
