As any one can see there is a big difference between the Idaho Lottery’s touch tab machines that are very legal at McCleary’s Pub on Orchard Avenue and the Historical Racing Machines that the rich horse racing folks had at the Les Bois Race track. And any way all of the money from the legal touch tab machines are going to help all of the school children in Idaho… When you are helping school children it really is not gambling. Gambling is when you bet on some thing other than school children.

I don’t get the attraction of slot machines. You have to be naive to think any slot machine is going to allow you to win. They are rigged in favor of the house. I won’t miss the slots at Le Bois.

Does this mean that there will finally be and end to these ridiculous “stories” about the race track. I say good riddance, if for no other reason then I am just tired of hearing about it…

So not only do we have the state and a county allowing illegal activity we don’t have a single reporter at the daily rag or on tv that can even investigate this stuff? Oh yea I forgot that today’s reporters just read the press release or take the offenders to coffee to get the “warm fuzzies” about how there is really no problem at all.

The reason they do not dig is that all the reporters want to work as PIO’s and VP’s of Marketing at the places that needs investigated.

I doubt they even saw the political ad in the rag today. I doubt they even care given all the big money that comes into the advertising department of the companies shown on the comic.

EDITOR NOTE–In fairness we gotta defend Cynthia Sewell at the DAILY PAPER. She is the main reason they even bothered to observe the law on the simulcast. http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/business/government-and-business/article66547302.html

J Smith–You got it right. Did you see the sob story Channel 6 did on the dead horses at LEs Bois.
I am supposed to feel sorry for the people losing money to mafia style gambling when cops, county councilmen, and state cops let them run simulcast when they didn’t have live race permit. http://www.kivitv.com/news/racetrack-closure-creates-50-million-hole

Guardian says everyone has skin in the game, so they just turned their official heads away from the law. KIVI got sucked in as well.

Tom –
Answer: Nobody.
Reason: Incurius corporate media is in bed with the rich folks and the politicians, so they don’t do investigative reporting anymore. They just read “official” press releases like Pravda did in Soviet Russia under Stalin.

Our overly competent elected official are the ones who’s necks are in the noose.

The Gov is on the line for failures with Idaho State Police and the Gaming Commission.

The County Commissioners necks are in noose as well.

Question is – Who pulls the trap door lever?

Easterner,

Ok fine, when these apps are forwarded to the independent 3rd party appraisers, they were told to shorten their investigatory time per app down to where they could not properly perform a discovery of the fraud. They didn’t want to give up that business, so they accepted the parameters that led to the sub-primes poisoning the tranches of mixed loan bundles, to be resold over and over.

You want to place all the blame on the borrowers who in many cases went into a lender looking for a normal loan, only to be scolded for not taking the “sweet” sub-prime. They called them “drive by loans.” This all does not forgive the lenders and resellers of these toxic loans that were ticking time bombs from the start. How do I know this? I have a niece and nephew that used to work for Countrywide. They knew that CW et al were committing fraud. And many CW employees were emailing Eileen Foster with all kinds of tips about the fraud. What did her bosses do? They attacked her instead. That is indefensible. Stop apologizing for the lenders of these defective products.

Here’s an interesting article about trump being interviewed by Oprah 25 years ago. There’s a short video with him saying the exact same things he’s saying today. There’s speculation in the video about him running for president someday.

EDITOR NOTE–Folks, perhaps I shouldn’t have mentioned Trump and Bernie. The point of the story is that state and county officials allowed an illegal gambling activity for more than two months and did nothing to stop it.
