Gambling studies unfavorable cited by Jay Miller
Dear Editor I protest gambling expansion in New Mexico and urge taxpayers and lawmakers to study the Wisconsin findings on casino costs. A New Mexico study shows lottery buyers are typically those least able to afford tickets. Louisiana after three years shows gambling fueled political donations. Opponents push another study but we cannot afford casino gambling in New Mexico.

Capitol dog run plan takes aim at Meridian Hill Park
Park Service critics attack an unelected adviser on Capitol Hill over a dog run at Meridian Hill Park amid tight budgets. The 1997 Interior budget requires the Park Service to establish dog runs at Meridian Hill and Rock Creek Park. Meridian Hill, crowded by urban crime and upkeep needs, draws dog walkers despite leash laws that Park Police began enforcing more strictly last year. Democrat Sidney Yates, ally of parks funding, supports the issue while Alderman, a businessman near Meridian Hill, lobbies for owners to write in. Plans estimate a minimum 15000 for completion, with budget pressures and sponsor considerations shaping the project.
