Indiana should reject gaming expansion to bars, restaurants | Letters
VIDEO: Machete wielding man dies after being shot by IMPD, two injured
Two people are injured but in stable condition after a man rammed into a vehicle and attacked one peson with a machete. An IMPD officer shot the suspect.
As a City-County Council member representing the southwest side of Indianapolis, I am deeply concerned about the potential to expand gaming by allowing video gaming terminals (VGTs) and e-pull tabs into public spaces like bars, restaurants, and truck stops.
This proposal threatens the quality of life for families in my district by turning community gathering places into de facto casinos, where gambling could replace family-friendly activities. These changes risk increased addiction, underage gambling, and the erosion of our neighborhoods.
I urge members of the Indiana General Assembly to reject this harmful expansion. We must protect our communities and keep our local spaces safe for families. The last thing we need is casino-style gaming invading places where we should be fostering connection and community. Let’s keep Indiana’s communities strong and say no to this unnecessary expansion.
