OVlEDO SEMINOLE COUNTY S0100L BOARO April 8, 1999 The Honorable Stan Bainter Florida House of Representatives 406 HOB 402 South Monroe Street Tallahassee, Florida 32399 Dear Representative Bainter: 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.
