Well, those addiction concerns should go away once the stadium in Pawtucket is complete. Can't call sports betting an addiction if RI gets their 30 pieces of silver from it. Big brain problems require big brain thinking.

>RI ignoring the needs of people with mental illness, addiction concerns

I don't think the addiction concerns have anything to do with the stadium in Pawtucket. Maybe gambling. Mental illness, suicide and overdose go hand in hand. I don't hear anyone talking about it. I don't hear any politician speaking about it. We are losing our children on a daily basis. The number of people we lose to overdose in this country is at an alarming rate. I don't hear any politician talking about it.
