Lawful Gamblin�c. • <br />Roseville residents were asked a series of questions about <br />city policies on lawful gambling and their own gambling habits. <br />They were initially infor�oned: <br />The issue of how much, if any, control <br />the City of Roseville should have <br />over lawful qamblfnq, suah as bingo <br />and pull-tabs, has been a sensitive <br />one. Some people feel that lawful <br />aharitable qambliaq is a fun activity <br />that also provides revenue to worth- <br />while community organiza�ions. O�hers <br />believe that lawful charitable qambling <br />i� an unhealthy activity for people, <br />provides little benefit to the com- <br />munity orqanizations it was desiqned <br />to serve, and shows increasinq evidence <br />o� fraud and corrupt management. For <br />each of the follawinq actions, please <br />tell me whether you would support or <br />oppose it. <br />A list of six policies were then read. <br />Ban lawful qamblinq from Roseville entirely. <br />Sixty-four percent opposed an outright ban: <br />SUPPORT ...................................34� <br />OPPOSE ....................................54% <br />DON�T KNOW/REFUSED .........................2$ <br />Only thirty-four percent supported this appraach. <br />Support for a ban was higher among: <br />* Senior couples <br />* 5-9 unit apartment building residents <br />Opposition to a ban was highest among: <br />* Owner-Manager households <br />* High school graduates <br />* $75,000-$100,000 yearly income households <br />A ban would be distinctly unpopular with Roseville residents. <br />Limit the number of permits available to charitable orqaniza- <br />tions. <br />95 <br />
