Book published

David Clary, a former PD assistant news editor, is on the California road talking about his new book “GANGSTERS to GOVERNORS:The New Bosses of Gambling in America”.  Young Dave, as he was known on the news desk because the late Dave Lake  was there first, is now at the San Diego Union and  a father of two.  "Gangsters to Governors: The New Bosses of Gambling in America," was published by Rutgers University Press on Sept. 28. It explores how and why states seized control of gambling, traditionally an illicit activity dominated by organized crime. The book weighs the consequences of government-sanctioned gambling and addresses current controversies over online and sports betting, he says.
