Legalized Gambling

On this edition of INSIGHTS, Dan Boylan moderates as guests present their views for and against legalized gambling. Last week, two Maui lawmakers introduced bills that would authorize gaming on Hawaiian home lands, establish a regulation commission, grant a license for a Waikiki casino and fund a compulsive gambler program. Those who support legalized gambling say it would bring in needed revenue for the state; those in opposition believe it would lead to more crime and breed irresponsible gaming lifestyles.

Scheduled guests include: Sue Dursin, Hawaii County Director, Hawaii Coalition Against Legalized Gambling; John Warren Kindt, Professor of Business and Legal Policy, University of Illinois; John Radcliffe, Principal, Radcliffe and Associates; and Malama Solomon, Senator, District 1 (East Hawaii Island).
