JUST HOW ARE THE SLOT MACHINES GOING TO MAKE MY PRESCRIPTION DRUGS CHEAPER?
The ads are insulting. The Prop B people think we're gullible!
I pity Jon Anderson in his new position of having to 'spin' the slots into miracles that will do such things as make prescription drugs cheaper, fix the school system and all the other promises it's making through the various ads. Jon tries so hard to get the lie across that his head shakes or bobs as the words leave his mouth, trying to convince the viewer that the slot machines are going to help Guam's economy.
Big deal that children under 18 won't be allowed where the slot machines are. Heck, they're not the ones with the money to gamble anyway so it's no biggy. These kids are spending their money on fixing up their cars or buying expensive designer clothes so they can hang out at the mall.
If I were interested in getting the tourist dollar, then I would have had Prop B for slots at the sterile areas. Lots of slots at both the arrival and departure areas. The tourists could blow what ever change they had at the time of their departure and having it there would mean that Joe Cruz and Maria Taitingfong could only play with the one arm bandits on her way out of here which reduces her losing her mortgage...........
Having the slot machines at the Greyhound establishment may be a form of entertainment for the tourist. If they lose a $1,000.00 it'll be 'no biggy' because they won't have to be homeless on Guam..........if a local person loses his paycheck of a thousand bucks........you can be sure that we'll all be affected by his loss.
In the meantime, It would be nice if the ads were more truthful and less insulting to our intelligence................
I sure hope that Jon got a lot of money for this move.........it'll be a long time before anyone things he's other than a spin meister.

Ok, give me a break this doom and gloom about people going broke and losing thier homes if Prop B passes is puro toro mielda!!!!!
New York has slots at race tracks many states has slots at race tracks and their home fourclosure rate is no higher than those who don't as a matter of fact some states that do not have gambling their satistics for people losing their homes are higher than those that does.
You act like people of Guam are idiots,but there are many responsible people on Guam who can manage to have casino gambling and not go broke! The federal government treats you as second class citizens because you act like a second class citizens. You have no faith in your own peoples always ready to put the chamorros down sort of saying why put a major factory in Harlem because niggers aren't going to work!
My only problem with prop B is that is Guam really going to benefit? I want to see it more to the tune of GovGuam calls more of the gambling tax shots not some private concern telling what they are going to give.
I think an office of territorial lottery should be created in the dept of Rev and tax,who would administer a territorial lottery and control video slots on Guam.
Time for Guam to stop depending on BIG PAPI!
