Wonder if he's the same guy that posts those youtube video's of himself playing online.

I like that he put in an incentive to fix roads with rake. That cracks me up. I wish that rake was being used to maintain my local roads.

Typical California.

Has no idea what's going on in the rest of the country, or world with regards to online poker, but wants in on the action... because they don't get a dime from online poker? What about the 194 licenced card rooms you tax?

I hate this flippin' state.

Oh yeah, and the +EV in the deal is some new asphalt roads!

Dear God, I hope not. State Sanctioned and Taxed internet poker, sure. The proposal reads lke it wants the poker site to be set up and run by the state, which is a formula for disaster.

I guess this is probably old hat, but who was behind trying to stop Americans playing online gaming sites...?? It's kinda makes you guys look irresponsible where the are irresponsible people in all nations.
Why was this decision made? Was it because too much US dollars going abroad?
I mean we all know if people want to gamble they will regardless.
Here in England there are thousands of sports books, and if you lose all your money it's your fault.
I just curious to why that rule came about.

If I had to guess it's because they weren't getting a cut

Bingo!

The state simply figured out a way they can exploit more money from its tax payers.
