After I posted this, I tried to think of any time local church authorities said anything about local politics, and the only time I could think of was when they were speaking out about the school board sex ed curriculum.

So maybe slots just aren't sexy.

And Salon, what do you mean by "grim"?

By grim, I mean that they're not making the money that the proponents promised they would and there's been a lot of controversy over one of the licenses in Pittsburgh. Nor have the promised jobs materialized. The slots were intended to offer property tax relief, but aren't generating the revenue they need. So, slot parlors are looking to expand their operations. The way the law is written, the games have to be completely electronic with no human dealers or facilitators, so they're experimenting with virtual dealers so that the parlors can include board games. It's silly.
