Shirley Talk

Show Notes

Mike & Kellye take some time to point out and convicts the hypocrisy, double standards, contradictory stances, and red tape of the Kentucky Gaming Commission. Shirley's Way, year in year out, tries to raise money for people facing a cancer diagnosis; and yet is regulated to the point of nearly debilitating circumstances while other organizations that are not charitable rake in profits through unregulated machines and gaming. Get out of the way government, so people can help each other.
