John Giotis, Chair of the Florida Council for Safe Communities, released the following statement today regarding the Supreme Court’s ruling on slot machines:
“We applaud the Florida Supreme Court ruling today that rejects the expansion of gambling in our state. This unanimous decision is good news for Florida families and Florida’s economy. Tourists from all over the world can continue to enjoy our world-class and family-friendly attractions, and Florida residents will not be saddled with the dangerous by-products of gambling in their communities. The Court and Attorney General Pam Bondi got this issue exactly right, and we are grateful for their leadership.”
