Mary Jane Knights (Readers' Forum, Feb. 23) writes, "why must we be continually bombarded with (ads) trying to lure us to neighboring gambling states?"
Because we have freedom of speech, Ms. Knights. And because advertising pays the freight for a number of things we take for granted, such as broadcast television and radio. It even helps UTA buses to operate for less.
I, myself, am shocked -- shocked! -- to learn that gambling is going on across our borders.
