Gambling as Iowa's modern open door to crime, warns Larson
Former Iowa attorney general Robert L. Larson, who cracked down on gambling in 1948, warns that Iowa's repeal of the state gambling ban in 1972 and a new looser law threaten state integrity. He cites widespread devices, bribery risk, and potential syndicate influence as money flows into politics. The pending Johnson County case tests the new law after the Winners Circle raid in North Liberty.
