Richard Nathan, chairman of the Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission (LGCC), has a deliberate, dispassionate way of speaking. For someone in the business of government regulation, it suits his role.
But when he began to talk about the future of gaming in Colorado, near the end of the LGCC’s Dec. 16 meeting, the gravity of what he said may have been lost on a casual observer, because it was delivered in his no-frills style. Nathan was summarizing what was discussed at a recent meeting of the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States in Austin, Texas, and touched on comments made there by Colorado Speaker of the House Alec Garnett.
