The preceeding was a hypothetical paid message from the New Jersey Lottery and state Assembly.
As if we don’t have enough forms of gambling here in New Jersey, our state Assembly wants to make it even easier for people to play the lottery. As if the corner that the corner store sits on isn’t close enough, the Assembly thinks — in another attempt to increase revenue — that bringing the lottery to us is a good idea.
Yes, our government needs to investigate alternatives for making money — not just alternatives to supplant the gambling money our casinos and racetracks are losing.
It’s time to start thinking outside the box. It’s time be creative. It’s time to be innovative. Or it’s time to find people to represent us who can be.
