Not So Much Support

New Hampshire is currently trying to figure out if it is in their best interest to legalize slot machines in the state. With so many other states raking in money hand over fist from the slot machines, they are beginning to wonder if it wouldn’t behoove them to do the same. However, there has been some misinformation when it comes to the slot machines in the media, and their officials want the record set straight.

A recent article that appeared in one of the local newspapers said that the House Ways and Means Committee endorsed the recommendation to pass a slot machine bill next term by a 9-8 vote. This is not the case. Rather, they endorsed a bill hat would decide whether or not they should consider the slot machine bill next term.

Many were upset because they thought that slot machines had been legalized somewhat under the radar – yet this is not what happened at all. They were merely deciding if this is something that should be followed up on, or if they should let the idea of legalizing the slot machines go.

There is also the issue that although many of them voted yes that they wanted to continue talking about the slot machines, they said that they would be unlikely to vote yes on a final bill that would actually legalize them. The idea that they were in support of the bill was not really what happened, and in fact most will not be in the long run.
