Dear Senator Dyer:
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 1453/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,
~A~

Council of Local Governments in Seminole County
