Nebraska Governor Opposes Expansion of Gambling20 November 2001LINCOLN, Nebraska – Nov. 20, 2001 -- Gov. Mike Johanns opposes an effort to legalize video gambling in Nebraska. "My vote would be a 'no' vote on expanded gambling," Johanns said Monday. Nebraska bar owners are circulating an initiative petition that would change the state constitution to allow video slots in all bars and restaurants that serve alcohol. Keno operators also are considering a petition that would allow video slots in keno businesses. Johanns said he supports building the state's economy on jobs, not more gambling. "Expanding gambling to build the economy is a false economy," he said. Many times those who gamble are people who can least afford it, Johanns said. |
