New Oregon Bill gives residents say on
casino plans
Bill specifically excludes Indian-owned casinos from voting requirement. Bill gives residents say on casino plan June 15, 2007 Residents of a city slated for a private casino would gain the right to vote on the idea, under a bill headed to the governor's desk. The Senate voted 24-5 Thursday to grant final legislative approval to Senate Bill 1042-B. The bill is aimed at giving residents of Wood Village a say on a proposed private casino planned there. Two men, working with an unnamed casino developer, are proposing a ballot measure that would amend the Oregon Constitution to allow one private casino in Oregon, at the Multnomah Kennel Club in Wood Village. The casino, if permitted by Oregon voters, would cut into the business of the Grand Ronde tribe's Spirit Mountain casino, among others. -- Steve Law http://www.statesmanjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007706150324 Link to Bill: http://www.leg.state.or.us/07reg/measpdf/sb1000.dir/sb1042.en.pdf |
