Casino bill would expand gambling in NY, regardless of vote17 June 2013The New York Post reports that New York's casino expansion bill being negotiated in Albany behind closed doors included a new provision Saturday that would expand gambling even if voters reject the proposal to build more casinos. According to the Post, Governor Cuomo has said that getting public approval for a constitutional amendment to allow Las Vegas-type casinos would be difficult. Gambling opponents and competing gambling entities are expected to mount TV ad blitzes. The bill, which is expected to authorize four major upstate resort casinos, could be voted on in the coming week, before the 2013 legislative session is scheduled to end, the Post stated. |
