Church Groups Banding Together

There is nothing like slot machines to get religions to come together – and that is exactly what is going on in Ohio. Several different churches and religions have come together to keep slot machines from becoming legal in their state and they mean business. They say that the governor is not acting in the best interests of the residents of the state and they are talking about suing them as a result of it.
 
The Ohio Council of Churches says that they are working alongside other churches and faith based groups to keep slot machines out of the state. They say that it is “morally wrong and politically untenable” for Governor Strickland to bring in the slot machines.
 
They say that the governor is going against the wishes of more than three million people who voted against the slot machines. They say that they are challenging the constitutionality of the move and that even if they lose the challenge they are still going to fight them on where the money goes. They say that if they are going to bring in slot machines than more money needs to go to education instead of a general fund.
 
However, they say that they don’t think that they will have to worry about where the money goes as they are sure that the courts will side with them and see that the slot machines and this move are illegal and this can all be put behind them. They say that instead of the slot machines they would like to see the tax cuts taken away as they say that this will raise them an additional $2 billion.
