Vote On Gambling 'Before End Of Year' It's pretty much a straight forward decision

I noticed this article and quickly "face palm'd" at the sight of it, I get its a growing business venture but there's really no debate over this. Maybe the Christian council might have something to say they always do after all. Here's what I said on the site.
Whenever you make something illegal its taboo and ends up being more desired, unfortunately. The best thing to do is let Bahamians gamble, charge a permit fee, and a transaction fee for every bet placed at every numbers shop or whatever people think of. Channel that money into treasury and be frugal with the earnings, we are in insane debt and spending money as soon as we get our hands on the money is taking one step forward two steps back. I'm not even sure we should have a lottery thought seeing as we don't have a set tax system which we should really handle to pay for medical insurance, better social security, and a more organized public bus system it's down right horrid.
