Contrary to the claim of the Houston County commissioners, it appears there is nothing in the law that forces Houston County to have electronic gambling. No one should be afraid to allow the people to vote on the issue of electronic gambling or any other controversial issue.

To ram these issues down the throats of the people does nothing but create distrust for government and politicians, eliminate the incumbent commissioners at the next election and create unnecessary hate, confusion and discontent in the entire community.

Please do not rush to allow Country Crossing without giving the people of the county their right to vote on the gambling part of this potentially wonderful and beneficial project.
