Pastor tells lawmakers all gambling should be opposed

Retired Pastor Steven McPherson told the House State Affairs Committee that he supports HB 127, the anti-tribal gaming bill, and said, “Perhaps it doesn’t go far enough, because I am opposed to gambling in any form. Perhaps we should consider the good example of Hawaii.”

McPherson said, “Some researchers consider gambling and pornography addictions to be very similar in their effect on the individual.”
