Nevada Problem Gambling Bill Just Needs Governor's Signature

Got an e-mail from my good friend Carol O'Hare on this one. Carol is the Executive Director of the Nevada Council on Problem Gambling and sent this link along of an article in today's Las Vegas Review Journal newspaper. The article just updates on an issue I have followed on this blog since the beginning regarding a bill to provide some state funding assistance to compulsive gambler treatment in Nevada. The bill has been approved and now just awaits the Governor's signature. When signed it will provide 2.5 million dollars in funding. Much more thatn the current $300,000 annually alotted from mostly private sources.

Carol and her crew worked hard on this one! I am glad to see it moving towards finality.
