Lynch Pushes Bingo and Pari Mutuel Betting for Iowa
Former Democratic legislator James Lynch of Medfield urged Linn County Democrats to legalize bingo and pari mutuel betting on horse races at a Marion meeting. He argued a permitted system would return a share to bettors and criticized tax and rural-urban policy gaps. Lynch also backed collective bargaining for public employees, repeal of right to work, driver testing, and cautious abortion-law changes, while denouncing Governor Ray and tax promises.
