State agency to get most of gambling addiction $$

Three-quarters the annual spending of a public health fund aimed at gambling addiction will go to initiatives backed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health under an agreement signed yesterday by state gambling regulators.

The agreement, which state officials called unique, requires the state Gaming Commission and the state's Executive Office of Health and Human Services to work jointly to ensure the fund created by the state's 2011 casino law is properly used.

Health and Human Services Secretary John Polanowicz said the partnership will ultimately benefit state residents as it will support research into intervention, treatment and prevention of the "unintended consequences" of casino gambling.
