Professor Demands a Who
The Massachusetts land casino proposal is at the forefront of focus for most
online casino gambling groups in the United States because of a small clause
that would criminalize internet gambling for Massachusetts citizens. The PPA has
already announced that the group plans to fight Governor Patrick’s bill that
would not only bring three land casinos to the state but would also make online
casino gambling a criminal activity in the state. Beyond the PPA though, a
Harvard group of academics and students, the Global Poker Strategic Thinking
Society (GPSTS) has planned a rally tomorrow to demand that the politicians
acknowledge who actually wrote Governor Patrick’s proposal and to protest the
anti-online casinos and internet poker gambling clause.
The GPSTS was formed at Harvard Law School and is specifically formed to support
poker in all forms (that means land poker and online casinos poker gambling) as
a way to develop and hone strategic thinking strategies. Charles Nesson is the
Harvard Law professor backing the GPSTS and he plans to really demand that the
legislators reveal who wrote the land casinos proposal – Governor Patrick’s
representatives allege that they did not pen the proposal and many speculate
that the land casinos interested in the new Massachusetts gambling industry
played a part in the proposals writing and specifics.
The PPA and GPSTS assert that the proposal just makes no sense in the fact that
it criminalizes online casino and internet poker gambling, yet greatly expands
the state’s land gambling activities. The proposal is very hypocritical and
“nonsensical” remarks Nesson. The public hearing and rally will take place in
front of the Massachusetts statehouse tomorrow and those in attendance can be
sure that Nesson and other prominent supporters of online casinos and internet
poker gambling will be there to support the rally against Patrick’s proposal. |
