 What does the author think the gaming commission will recommend?
This effort has largely succeeded, because Vegas is still the dominant image of American gambling, if not the dominant reality. The commission won't (and can't) take any grand stand against gambling. The commission may recommend that gaming taxes be used to underwrite treatment of pathological gamblers and that insurance companies be encouraged to cover gambling addiction. Similarly, the commission will try to reduce gamblers' access to cash by limiting the size of ATM advances and prodding casinos to remove the machines from their floors. What the commission ought to be investigating is whether the gambling industry has become so powerful that it's politically untouchable. The sign reads: "National Gaming Impact Study Commission."
