Setback for Casino Plan

CANTERBURY PARK, Minnesota -- The House dealt a major setback Tuesday to Gov. Tim Pawlenty's plan to pad the state budget with gambling money, sending a bill that would establish two casinos at Canterbury Park back to a committee seen as hostile.

Fourteen Republicans joined all House Democrats except one to return the bill to the House Taxes Committee, where Pawlenty and Republican leaders in the House fear they don't have enough votes to keep alive the gambling expansion.
