President Rozema introduced our State Representative Ellyn Bogdanoff who spoke about the March election and the gambling issue. If approved by the votes, the money will go into a general fund which will benefit all the counties in the state. Final details must be worked out. As this is a personal issue, GMCA Advisory Board will not make a recommendation on how to vote.
