  1. Oh this should lead us to happiness and prosperity, should reduce poverty, homelessnes AND create affordable housing, along with fixing our educational system and healtcare system…..why did we wait so long?

  3. I bet ( better than even odds) there will be a few gambling addition rehabs in Vts future. All the tax dollars gained – and then some- will go to fund these.

  4. Our Liberal Mafia Lawmakers banking on the tax revenue to pay for their dystopian Green energy programs. Next: Neon Billboards littering Vermont’s landscape.

    • Conservatives fought the billboard ban every step of the way, same with the returnable bottle bills. I haven’t followed the gambling thing closely, but I would bet that more conservative than liberals supported it.

    • In broad strokes that is true and you make a good point, Brian. Not all new ideas are bad! But remember too that both initiatives were led by Republicans of the Aiken/Dean Davis/Stafford variety. And also, not all of the new ideas ARE good, especially if they go effectively unchallenged in an uncrtical supermajority.

    • Context:
      Re: “remember too that both initiatives (billboard and bottle bills) were led by Republicans…”.

      Which may simply indicate that all politicians are as susceptible to ‘narcissistic personality disorder’ as are the rest of us.

      But only three of the ten sponsors of the gambling bill were Republican. And there is no way, given the supermajority of progressives and democrats in the legislature, that more conservatives than liberals supported the gambling bill.

      I suggest not muddying the water by moving the discussion goal posts to include the billboard and bottle bills. Gambling is a whole other ballgame.

  6. who owns the computer system running this operation///find the hidden master///

    • Bingo!

      “DraftKings, FanDuel and Fanatics Sportsbook were selected to operate mobile sports betting platforms in Vermont, Republican Gov. Phil Scott said last month.”

      DraftKings, for example, is a publicly held company. One of it’s mission statements is ‘INCLUSION, EQUITY + BELONGING’.

      Jason Robins, founder and CEO of DraftKings officially became a billionaire in 2021 one year after DraftKings went public.

      FanDuel’s previous CEO and co-founder Nigel Eccles is left the company and started FanDuel.

      Remember folks, ‘the house always wins’. And Vermont is just another gambler in this on-line casino.

  9. Just what we need…gambling is an exercise in demonic activities…let’s let these Roger Goodell and other once heroes of yesteryear promote this aberration..Phil Simms, Strahan, and other so called model players who once we idolized are now now endorsing this egregious practice…all in the name of self-aggrandizing profit…what a pathetic state this country is now engaging in…
