Tennessee legislators are trying to push a bill to allow gambling at charity events:

Charities that hold gambling events to raise money would have to keep at least 25 percent of the gross profits under a provision adopted Wednesday by the Tennessee House.

The House also voted to allow criminal background checks for board members of charities applying to hold a game.

Legislators further amended the bill to limit charitable gambling events in one location to two per month; as it came out of the Senate, the bill said two per week at any given site.

You’re kidding! All of those regulations seem to me to be completely arbitrary. I guess it makes them feel important to be involved.
