Tobin-Smith: Race is how people learn about SCAN
Wyss: We need to eliminate ‘skimming’
By Ellie Bogue of News-Sentinel
Volunteers pull toy ducks out of the water at the close of the 2000 SCAN (Stop Child Abuse and Neglect) Duck Race. New oversight by the Gaming Commission may bring changes to fundraising events by Indiana nonprofit organizations.
They look like ducks, float like ducks and – if they were-n’t made of colored plastic – might even quack like ducks.
But the thousands of miniature fowls scheduled to float down the St. Joseph River for charity later this month are also symbols of changes coming to the state’s charitable gaming industry – a $526 million-a-year business that often blurs the line between philanthropy and gambling."
