Milpitas Reader Writes: Measure E Cardroom Has NOTHING Of Value; Vote No!

By Anji McBride

What happens when you spend money at the grocery store? You get food for you and your family.

What happens when you spend money at the gas station? Your car has more fuel to go to and from work to support you and your family.

What happens when you spend money on school supplies? Your child is better prepared for school, helping them to in turn achieve better grades and go on to college and make a life for themselves.

What happens when you spend money on Laundro mats, car washes, coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, police, fire, and other municipal workers? You get all the things that raise your quality of life.

What happens when you spend money in a casino? Nothing, you just get poorer, you have less money to take care of you and your family.

That means fewer school supplies, less gas, less food, less everything. But hey, the casino gets richer!

And the city government gets a fat deposit in their “General Fund,” aka joint banking account.

When you put money into something, you should get something of equal value out of it, a real product or service necessary to keep you and your family happy and healthy. A casino not only does not provide any of those things, it deprives you of the money you had, to procure those things for yourself and your family.

They will be taking your money for no purpose what so ever, except to feed and become rich off of your addiction.

VOTE NO ON MEASURE E, AND VOTE FOR YOUR FUTURE.
