The New Mexican reports that Santa Fe officials have rerouted a casino bus for fear old folks will get a gambling jones:
Senior citizens can no longer catch a weekly shuttle bus to Camelrock Casino from Santa Fe senior centers because to a recent decision by city officials.
“Their excuse was that it’s dangerous for the elder citizens — they may get the gambling habit,” said Leonard Pensler, who lives in the Ventana de Vida senior apartment complex on Pacheco Street.
“And you should see these elder citizens in wheelchairs with oxygen tanks,” Pensler said. “This is their happiness. It gets them out for three hours a day.”
