http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/lot...811,full.story Expanded gambling may get more discussion from Florida's new leaders By Nick Sortal, Sun Sentinel Gov. Rick Scott came out as neutral on gambling. "My view on gaming is I don't want the state to be very largely dependent on gaming for revenues," Scott said at a news conference on Friday. "We allow gaming in this state, and I haven't taken any position about doing anything different with gaming." However, Scott's Regulatory Reform Transition Team has already published some recommendations, including one listing for "eliminating mandatory gaming activities that are unprofitable for an additional form of gambling." That means dog tracks, for example, could eliminate the required dog racing and just offer slots and poker. "He's sort of music to the industry's ears," says Marc Dunbar, a lobbyist for pari-mutuels, including Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach. "But he's a businessman. He's not pro-gambling or anti-gambling." Last edited by Kasept : 01-11-2011 at 10:58 AM. |
