The Herald-Mail ONLINE-Gaming director says bill would hurt county's nonprofits

The Herald-Mail ONLINE: "WASHINGTON COUNTY - Saying the proposal would result in decreased funding for nonprofit groups, Washington County's gaming director asked the County Commissioners on Tuesday to oppose a bill that would give the state oversight of charitable gaming activities such as tip jars.
Gaming Director James B. Hovis said that under House Bill 212, the state comptroller would set regulations on gaming activities, such as tip jars, and would require nonprofit groups to justify their use of the gambling proceeds. "
