State Lottery Plans Stir Debate Across States
The 1964 Granite State Sweepstakes plan in New Hampshire faces national scrutiny as California moves to counter with its own ballot measure. The New Hampshire plan would auction $1 million ticket pools tied to 332 horses at Rockingham Park with funds split for prizes and schools. California voters in November may decide on a constitutional amendment creating a state chartered, privately run lottery by American Sweepstakes Corp. Critics, including Gov. Brown’s administration, oppose it and supporters cite tax relief. SAFETY DRIVE promotes slow moving vehicle signs for tractors and farm equipment with local club members distributing and displaying signs for highway safety.
