OVl EOO SEMINOLE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD April 8, 1999 The Honorable Anna Cowin Florida Senate 305 SOB 404 South Monroe Street Tallahassee, Florida 32399 Dear Senator Cowin: Please be advised that the Council of Local Governments in Seminole County at its meeting April 7, 1999 has taken action to advise you to defeat HB l453/SB 2176 (Video Lottery Gambling at Parimutuels ). The concerns expressed have to do with the related unnecessary increase in gambling in Florida, and its negative impact on people and local governments. In short, unless drastically altered, we believe this to be bad legislation and bad public policy. Thank you for your interest and consideration. Sincerely, ~ ,jf~ Cindy Gennell, Chairperson Council of Local Governments in Seminole County cc: Members of the Council of Local Governments in Seminole County Seminole County Chairman of Board of County Commissioners & County Manager City of Altamonte Springs Mayor & City Manager City of Casselberry Mayor & City Manager City of Lake Mary Mayor & City Manager City of Longwood Mayor & City Manager City of Oviedo Mayor & City Manager City of Sanford Mayor & City Manager City of Winter Springs Mayor & City Manager Tri-County League of Cities President & Executive Director COU"NCIL ME:vtBERS Eddie Rose Lndo CHon Cindy Gennell.
