GAMBLING POLLUTION

I have seen many good people working willingly to clean up the trash and pollution thrown and washed in our waterfronts, but they will never be able to keep our shores cleaned if we allow gambling boats on our waters.

Many storms have passed us by, and a gambling boat will block the protection of the one who controls the winds and waters.
