Colorado generated nearly $37 million in sports betting revenue in November, which funneled directly into gambling addiction services, including crisis hotlines and counseling, as well as infrastructure investments like water conservation. axios.com/local/denver/2…
@GovofCO Oh the irony, make money from people gambling to support people from gambling..
@GovofCO This does not seem like something I am that proud of! What has it done to the underlying people who bet. Of course maybe they just bet against the broncos all year and are now rich.
@GovofCO This just feels really wrong. Please rethink this if this is the way this works.
@GovofCO Weird flex Gov. hey, we took all this sports betting money and put most of back to gambling addiction services that we wouldn’t have needed except for legal sports betting. Ok.
@GovofCO And how many people lost a lot of money because of their gambling addiction in the US? It is like praising the cigarette industry for all the taxes they pay
@GovofCO This tweet is a Mercury retrograde mess. Voters have to take accountability, as they did approve this. I am not one of those voters. But this does feel like Marlboro donating to Quitline.
@GovofCO Odd... "Fed fat kids cake but used the proceeds to give them weight loss counseling"
