News Robb Pitts' ransom-esque gambling propaganda
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 4:01 PM
Here at CL we LOVE receiving letters. (So tangible!) But sometimes they make us sad. And Fulton County Commissioner Robb Pitts win most depressing mailer of the day.
This morning, CL's A&E assistant Wyatt Williams handed me a letter from the pro-gambling politico. Then he handed me a stack of about 20 more. I was delighted to discover a folded piece of paper that read "Casino Gaming Can Help!" accompanied by a bunch of headlines about foreclosures, unemployment and the current tidal wave of economic pain.
I don't know which is more depressing — the collection of headlines or imagining Pitts' staffers cutting every one of them out. Either way, thanks, sir! We received the memo!
More photos of Pitts' letter after the jump.
