Dan Boylan moderates a discussion on legalized gambling. This long-running issue is being reintroduced this legislative session, through bills for a standalone Waikiki casino, horse racing and a statewide lottery. Proponents of legalized gambling say it would bring in needed revenue for the state. Opponents believe gambling would spawn more crime and breed irresponsible gaming lifestyles.
Scheduled to appear are: Benjamin Cayetano, former Hawaii governor; John W. Kindt, Professor Emeritus of Business Administration at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; John Radcliffe, Lobbyist with Radcliffe and Associates; and Alex Santiago, Founder/Director of Health and Human Services Advocates.
