I'm writing about Lindsay Peterson's story for The Tampa Tribune ("Game Plan," front page, March 7) about how the lottery pushes Floridians to spend more amid the recession. It was really great.
It was the kind of principled, responsible and dramatically relevant reporting that is much too rare in mainstream newspapers today. And brave, too. For few are daring enough to expose the seamy, soulless effects of legal gambling. Thank you very much.
