The Tundra Drums - For-profit gaming initiative won’t pay off for public

The Tundra Drums - For-profit gaming initiative won’t pay off for public: "The “gaming commission” ballot initiative on the primary ballot Aug. 26 could lead to the elimination of charitable gaming as we know it today.

Why should you care?

Currently, charitable gaming benefits over 1,000 nonprofit organizations in Alaska, many of which provide essential community services such as firefighting, rescue teams, senior services and child care. If this initiative passes, these nonprofits are bound to lose substantial funding that makes their services possible."
