1DCA Rules in Favor of Gaming Expansion
October 6th, 2011 by flanewsThe 1st District Court of Appeal has cleared the way for the legislature to expand gambling without a referendum, but the case could be appealed to the state Supreme Court. Either way, Senate President Mike Haridopolos says legislative plans to bring Vegas-style casinos to Florida will move forward.
“I expect to have an up or down vote here and we have to see what the House chooses to do, but we are a gambling state,” said Haridopolos.
Bringing destination casinos to Florida is a legislative priority in the Senate. Last year plans fell apart mid-session.
