		At the time I was city editor for the Sun, that was the year of the election of Grant Sawyer, who ran on a campaign of making sure that only reputable people were licensed and that the industry was operating in a reputable manner.
		So (Sawyer) was in a position of defending it and the state from outside forces, such as the attempt by Bobby Kennedy to have a massive federal raid on all of the casinos.
		Grant Sawyer has a lot to thank for that, because he took the governor out of the system.
