Governor Yet To Sign Slot Machine Bill
(STATEHOUSE) - Governor Daniels has yet to say publicly whether he’d sign a bill allowing slot machines at Indiana’s horse racing tracks.
But his lieutenant governor says the administration would not consider slots an expansion of gambling if it's accompanied by a crackdown on illegal gaming.
Legislators have been considering a bill to add 25 new excise police to go after an estimated 35-thousand illegal "cherry master" machines.
Daniels has said he's against expanding gambling, but Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman echoes the argument some legislative republicans have been making: if the illegal video slots are shut down, a few thousand legal ones aren't really an expansion.
