KTRH-AM 740 out of Houston followed up the Morning News story about our efforts to legalize poker in Texas with one of their own. In their piece, the opposition claims we poker liberators* are simply seeking a regressive tax that will punish the poor, and calls government \”weak\” for even considering legalization as an alternative to cracking down.
*my term, not theirs
And now, on the front page of KTRH\’s website, their question of the day is:
Should Texas add poker to its gaming lineup?
At the time of this posting, we\’re leading 63-37 … as all of us who understand the skillful application of percentages can surmise, this is hardly the spread of domination we\’re looking for. Seriously, I\’m sorry to keep whining about this … but it\’s a one-and-a-half-click vote … if we can\’t nail this one down, we don\’t stand a chance in Austin this year.
NOTE: This seems to be a very conservative radio station.
