It brings organized crime closer to our homes. The Georgia      General Assembly has taken some serious steps to reduce sex      trafficking in Georgia during its last couple of sessions.      Whatever progress those legislatures made, I believe the      gambling industry will make the condition ripe for an      increase in sex trafficking, which victimizes countless      underaged boys and girls.    <\/p>\n<p>      This also has detrimental effects on harmonious family units.      We already have too many pressures that break up marriages.      Gambling is an addictive habit, and a significant portion of      the population gets addicted to gambling. They blow money in      gambling that can lead to job losses, bankruptcies and broken      marriages. Whatever tax revenue is generated from gambling      enterprises cant justify the human tragedy that will result      from gambling addiction and Georgians who will become crime      statistics from the increased crime rate.    <\/p>\n<p>      I strongly implore our legislators to vote against casino      gambling in Georgia.    <\/p>\n<p>      YeSun Wiltse    <\/p>\n<p>      Evans    <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Go here to read the rest:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/chronicle.augusta.com\/opinion\/letters\/2017-02-12\/vote-down-gambling\" title=\"Vote down gambling - The Augusta Chronicle\">Vote down gambling - The Augusta Chronicle<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> I urge our local legislative delegation to please vote against any move to legalize casino gambling in Georgia.
