Finally this issue is headed in the right direction,the public has to know just how big this problem really is and how much it is hurting our Municipalities our Communities and the very social fabric in which we live.
There has been so much distruction from these things,people committing suicide,family split-ups,
immeasurable personal distruction ,loss of local revenue,most local businesses are feeling the pinch of this addiction because this is money no longer being recycled throughout the local economy.
Regardless of what this government says the reality is the level of money going to the Provincial Government at such a large amount is very hard to replace locally for example In Saint John alone the numbers are roughly 25-30 Million Dollars,Fredericton & Moncton would be about 15-20 Million Dollars and the rest is split among the rural areas for a total of over 100 Million Dollars and growing annually.(EACH & EVERY YEAR!!)
And the truth is regardless of what the Provincial Government has tried to tell or sell you,Ask any of the Mayors of the three bigger Cities and they will tell you honestly that they(DO NOT)recieve any($O)of the revenues from VLT's
The Mayor of Saint John Mr.McFarlen has already came out with that statement so with this information look at it this way the City of Saint John is currently complaining about the loss of revenue from the Irving Tax give away which will cost tax payers about 112 Million Dollars over Five years.
On that same note the loss of revenue from VLT Exploitation the City of Saint John alone stands to loose at a minimum 25 Million a year for a total of 125 Million which surpasses the Irving fiasko but here is the real numbers, Combine just these two issues together and Saint John will suffer a setback of over a Quarter of a BILLION DOLLARS OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS that cannot or will not be collected again.
I don't know about the average citizen of Saint John but I find that totally criminal and NOT ACCEPTABLE.
I believe it is about time Our Government is held responsible for these types of distructions to our local econemies and we should make it understood that Creative Governing Should and Must be a top priority within this Province on the next Election.
They should also be held responsible for the many suicides in the Province of New Brunswick because of their lack of forsite to creat a percentage account toward establishing a build up of self gaining revenues off of the prophets of VLT's that could have been used to build a facility to house these highly addictive machines at least 10 years ago at the time the VLT's were taken into possession.
I believe that any Judge that had this issue before him or her today would have to agree that the Government of New Brunswick as it stands today is and has been purposely exploiting Obsessive Compulsive Behavior(OCB)and Addictive Personalities based on the amount of time this Province has opperated and propheted from these machines considering the many other options available to them through the Millions of Dollars over such an extended period of time.
PLEASE:E-mail your local MLA's
The Premier's Office and also The Lottery Commission and demand that these changes take effect Emmediately by using a percentage of the prophets generated by the very addiction in which these Millions of Dollars are raised in the first place and let's stop the killing of our citizens and local econemies.
And lastly LET US NOT FORGET that 48% of the voting population tried very hard to stop this foreseeable dissaster from ever becoming the reality that it has become and demand the changes as part of the next Election.

I like that Tim,Very nice We Three kings of Community Corruption!!Just a comment to say I read the above statement and you done a very good job,informative.
I see your dabbeling in cut and paste good for you I knew you would find new ways of expressing your views you are and always will be a go getter!
I hope you stay with this issue and take it as far as you possibly can. But can I just say your message must be the same regardless of what party is in power,I myself want to hear what solutions each party has to offer as far as regulating vlt's and how long it will be before their ideas become a community reality before I give my vote.I would hate to think what you have done was all for not. Take care and good luck!

You might remember me from a little conversation we had, Tim I like the point you are trying to make it is very creative and I would like to see it grow with more involvement from others because you are absolutely right when you say this is a huge hidden problem it is costing this province too much to ignore as you well know.
The list is very long and life itself is just the beginning of the overall.
You sir are a very determined individual and you are to be commended for all the goods that may come from this.
As per our conversation yesterday about you not knowing enough to do this alone I agree but you definitly have proven if someone is compassionate enough about something that needs to be dealt with you certainly don't have to be a rocket scientist to get it to the public and for that alone you are to be thanked many times over,Very well done.(so far!) I will check this blog periodically for updates on your success. good for you!.

Your right Charles it does doesn't it? Thats probably because like you've said in the past most causes that consern the exploitation of manorities all have the same importance of getting the public awareness message attached to them,This is a gentleman I met while sitting for a coffee with a friend of mine and he heard our conversation,he started to ask questions about the subject of vlt's so I filled him in on what we are trying to do I also left our web address with him.If anyone would like to leave an annonomous comment or would like to get involved in any way,maybe you have a story on these issues or a consern about someone you know that is having a problem with vlt addiction and you would just like to ask a few Questions, Please do!!
You can reach me at my e-mail address(thsmith@nb.sympatico.ca)
Or th_smith@hotmail.com
Also by mail(Timothy Smith 68 Mecklenburg Street Apt#5 Saint John N.B. e2l-1r1
Also by phone I'm in the phone book or if your in Fredericton you can get my number from Charlie.
Thank-you very much for your interest in helping the weak live to see another day.

It is curious how I compare this issue to the way drugs were sold back in the seventies up until the early ninties in and outside of malls,school entrances and busy uptown areas basicly wherever people had a habit to gather and became a province wide problem with the avoidance of becoming addicted to it and so the law stepped in to clean it up.
It is an interesting way of looking at VLT addiction as exploitation and it does seem to hold meret based on that theory.
It is true vlt's have been under Government Control for about 15 years in this Province which in all respects must have netted slightly over a billion dollars to date in that alotted time and yet not one dime has ever been set aside through a properly regulated program of any type whatsoever to build a structure in which they were ever to be housed.
This seriously leaves one to take a second look at the possibility the New Brunswick Government had no intentions of running this program other than to reach out as far into the crowed populas as possible which in turn comes back to exactly what has been suggested,Exploitation by the Governing body of the New Brunswick.
With no changes to this program as Suicides started to rise through a no way out addiction trap,also a very weak addiction services act does tend to point in the direction of inflicted addictive suicides upon the the obsessively weak by none other than the Government of New Brunswick with the sinsere intent of financial gain to the death of it's own people.
Exploitation definitly fits the bill and there should be an inquiry into the way this program has been handled over the life of it's existance to see if indeed the government of New Brunswick is Guilty of Murder for Prophet through a widespread highly addictive program as they are fully aware of the title this addiction holds over all other forms of gambling (The crack cocaine of Gambling)
