Mayors say removing machines won't solve gambling problem
Mayor Bill Russell argues removing VLTs will not end gambling and notes the provincial decision to shift control to rural officials. He calls $28 000 local gaming profit a mere pittance while others urge better addiction support through the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba and potential public funding partnerships. Bob Ross of the Chamber presses for accountability and local reinvestment of VLT proceeds.
