Las Vegas Sun - Hillary gets "green light" from The American Gaming Association.
http://lasvegassun.com/news/2016/feb/11/presidential-candidates-rated-for-stances-on-gamin/The American Gaming Association gave only two presidential candidates, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, a “green light” for their stances on gaming in its voter guide released today.
---------
The association also polled casino employees in December. It found 40 percent of Nevada casino employees would not vote for a candidate with negative views of gaming. (Casino workers number about 180,000 in Nevada.)
“The hundreds of thousands of gaming employees in Nevada are highly engaged in this election and will play an outsized role in choosing the next president,” Geoff Freeman, the association’s president and CEO, said in a statement.
The poll also found 93 percent of gaming employees registered to vote said they would likely vote in the general election.
The guide is part of the association’s “Gaming Votes” initiative launched last year to promote discussions about the gaming industry in the presidential race.

Thank you~
Look at our retirement accounts and 401k's (or don't look right now).
And aren't many of us betting after paying in all our lives we'll get Social Security and Medicare? Betting we'll live long enough to need it?
Gamblers (even nickel-and-dimers!) are risk-takers and job creators! 
Go Hillary!
They are at the heart of the economy in Nevada.
Good endorsement for Sec. Clinton
