No Change On Pinballs
Is Prosecutor's View
"My policy will continue to bc
tile same as it always has been",
Prosecuting AttorneyJohn C.
Ragan told The Jounal this week
in answer to a question on
whether or not he plans any
action against pinball machines
here.
"My policy has always been
that if there is a legitimate
complaint of a violation of the
law and if investigation by the
Sheriff's Office or Police
Department indeicates a crime has
been committed, charges will be
filed", the prosecutor added.
"This applies to anti-gambling
laws as well as any other type of
violation of the law", he added.
"The laws concerning gambling
have been on the books all along",
Ragan said. "The attorney
general's opinion in respect to
pinball machines and the gambling
law does not change the law one
bit. It is his opinion as to what the
law is".
"1 would be a hypocrite,"
Ragan said, "If I stated that until
(;or[on gave his opinion, I did not
know the state had an
anti-gambling law."
Ragan commented that since
gambling law violations are
misdemeanors, there might be
some delay in investigation since
felony investigations should take
precedence.
The city of Shelton licenses
some multi-coin pinball and card
rooms nlachlnes h)r list_' hi the

The city has taken no action Io

been done in some other :trcas
since Gorton's opinion was
