Quincy Approves Video Gambling

Bars and restaurants in Quincy will be allowed to install video gambling machines.  The Quincy City Council passed the measure by a vote of nine to five, but not until they approved an amendment to limit machines to two per establishment.  Six of nine speakers who attended the meeting opposed video gaming.  Reverend Bruce Rice called the move a "portal of addiction" and said the act would take away from the moral fiber of the city.  Reverend Brian Meado called video gambling "a soft entry" into a lifestyle of gambling.  But Jerome Gille with the Quincy VFW says they'll put the proceeds toward a good cause, using it to benefit veterans' programs.
