To the Editor:

Tim O’Shaughnessy’s Letter to the Editor published Oct. 5 regarding video gambling in Sycamore’s bars raised two important questions.

First, the pro-video gambling aldermen indicated that the possible annual revenue of approximately $99,000 lacks any verifiable support documentation. Wishful proposals are like putting rocks in a wet paper bag – the bottom falls out. Tim is right when says he wants to “see the math used to derive that number.”
