In Louisiana, to sell legalized gambling to the populace,
the legislature passed a law that said the only casino-
type gambling would be on riverboats, as if to say that
casino gambling would not pollute the towns, but would be
out on the rivers during on boats under way on river
cruises. And that is the way it started. Then they passed
a law that said that the river boats could stay dockside
while casino gambling took place aboard. But what has
developed lately is a phony operation by some casinos,
such as Pinochle Casino (L'Auberge) in Lake Charles
whereby the so-called "river-boat" sits in a cement pond
on land near the river; and it could not be taken for a
cruise up or down the river if L'Auberge wanted to. How
phony! How phony of the corrupt Louisiana elected
officals and governmentleaders!

Also, the Lake Charles Harbor and Terminal District (Port
of Lake Charles), paid for with tax-payer dollars, and
which was established by early Louisiana leaders to
promote maritime commerce, has sold out to Organized
Gambling and now the large Pinochle (L'Auberge) Casino,
Golf Course, Hotel and Thouand-Dollar-A Day villas occupy
the land bought and paid for and owned by the taxpayers.

Again, how phony!

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkeson, Attorney
Lake Charles, LA
