The letter argues against a proposed amendment repealing Section 28 of Article 3 of the Iowa constitution, warning it would empower the legislature to legalize pari mutuel betting and Las Vegas style gambling. It urges voters to vote no to preserve state control against expanded gambling. It also covers Cedar Rapids cable TV questions and local civic spending alternatives.
