| Editor: Re: “Gambling does have a downside,” (The Times, July 28). Before the opening of the Langley Cascades Casino, I had never been in a casino. I was curious and ventured in there one day. I was a little nervous only because I didn’t know how to work a slot machine. I walked around for a while, then I found an empty one right in the corner and sat down and proceeded to put my money in. In a heartbeat, $20 vanished. I was so upset that I had lost 20 bucks (I am the cheapest person when it comes... |

It passed overwhelmingly 41-22 via committee vote last week, advancing the legislation to the House floor, where it hopefully will be voted on before the end of the 2010 session.

| Senator Harry Reid can't play the race card in his race against Sharron Angle. He wouldn't dare play the gender card.
