Governor of New Hampshire states position on Frank's bill

[Jeffiner99]

For those of you who don't know, I sent out 50 emails to each Governor asking if they would "opt in or opt out" of the Barney Frank regulation bill. For the most part I got a lot of brush offs and being told to ask the Feds for their position on the bill. I suppose they don't want to respond to hypothetical bills. But I did get this response from the Governor of New Hampshire that surprised me a bit. I thought the state was more open minded than this. He seems to be asking for a tall order. But here it is:


Dear XXXXXX,
Thank you for contacting the Office of Governor John H. Lynch regarding the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act of 2007.

I am writing to thank you for reaching out to our office with your inquiry and to inform you that unfortunately, Governor Lynch has not yet had an opportunity to review this piece of legislation. Governor Lynch would want to see compelling evidence that the legalization of
gambling would not harm New Hampshire's quality of life before he would consider allowing any form of gambling to take place in our great state.

Thank you again for contacting the Governor's Office. Please don't hesitate to contact me in the future if I can be of assistance.

Sincerely,

Lillie Green
