Nov 20, 2009 (Contra Costa Times - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --
ZZHXY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- BAY AREA RESCUE MISSION President John Anderson is unequivocal: His organization will never accept money from Indian casinos.

"We are an entirely privately funded Christian ministry and gambling goes against the principles that we believe and stand for," Anderson said.

Anderson raised eyebrows earlier this month when he and political consultant Dan Lee entered the debate over the Point Molate Indian casino proposed in Richmond.

The men brought clients from the mission's 325-bed Richmond homeless shelter to testify against the casino before the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors.

Nearly every other opposition group has -- or is negotiating -- a lucrative deal with the Guidiville Band of Pomo Indians. Behind the scenes, casino proponents have urged Anderson to meet with the tribe.

And who could blame a man who runs a shelter for the poor? If the casino produces more homeless gambling addicts, demand for the mission's services would rise.

"We were not angling for money," he said. "We see the devastation that would come about as a result of a casino like the one proposed at Point Molate ... We wanted to encourage the (Board of Supervisors) not to be supportive. It was as pure and simple as that."

Coincidence?:

The Bay Area Rescue Mission suffered two setbacks after its public anti-casino stance.
