Gambling Opponents Sued

LINCOLN, Nebraska -- The war of words between gambling supporters and opponents escalated Friday into the filing of four complaints with the state.

The supporters of Amendment 3, the Legislature's plan to legalize two casinos in Nebraska, filed complaints alleging wrongdoing by anti-gambling group Gambling with the Good Life.

Yes on Amendment 3 campaign coordinator Phil Young said the complaints filed with the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission allege that Gambling with the Good Life did not accurately report contributions made to their committee on filings turned in earlier this week.

One complaint alleges the group received or was told it would receive $25,000 or $30,000 from Omaha's Trinity Interdenominational Church during the reporting period, which ended Sept. 30, but did not report it, Young said.

Gambling with the Good Life director Pat Loontjer said the complaint showed that gambling proponents like Young were desperate.
