MUNSTER, Ind. (AP) — A southern Indiana economic development association is urging the Legislature to strengthen the state’s casino industry by revising existing gambling laws to allow it to remain competitive as casinos open in surrounding states.
New Albany-based One Southern Indiana says the move is necessary to continue to provide the tax revenue, jobs and other benefits that have become an integral part of the economies of Indiana and cities that have casinos. Republican state Rep. Ed Clere of New Albany tells The Times of Munster (http://bit.ly/QS0RjU) that changes in Indiana gambling laws could include allowing casinos to relocate to more easily accessible sites, such as along a highway, instead of on a river or lake.
