speak in support of the section?

Delegate Bamberger.

DELEGATE BAMBERGER: Mr. Chairman, I share

4

Delegate James1 concern that this does cause continuing

5

pressure on the Legislature. I also share Delegate Ulrich's

6

concern about private lotteries.

7

What has particularly bothered me about this --

8

and I hope that the chairman of the Committee on Finance

9

and Taxation would respond to this -- was when we adopted

10

this on second reading, Mr. Clarence Miles, the chairman of

11

the Governor's Commission studying gambling and crime in

12

this State, somehow or other read this provision to mean

13

that we had authorized the operation of private lotteries.

14

That has bothered me, and I think it has bothered some other

15

delegates.

16

I hope Delegate Sherbow would respond. I did

17

not understand that. I have never heard that particular

18

problem debated on this floor.

19

THE PRESIDENT: Any other delegate desire to

20

speak in opposition?

21

Delegate Hardwicke.
