Iowa regulators wants casino lawsuits combined
The Associated Press
SIOUX CITY, Iowa —
The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission wants a judge to consolidate two lawsuits filed against it by the owner of Sioux City's riverboat casino.
Penn National Gaming Co. has gone to court to overturn the board's decisions that put the gambling license up for bid for a land-based casino in Woodbury County and rejected a contract extension with its nonprofit partner to 2015.
Penn National claims the commission's actions were unconstitutional and beyond its authority.
The Sioux City Journal (http://bit.ly/OnR6tv ) says the commission filed a motion on Monday in Polk County District Court asking that the cases be held at the same. The board argues that consolidation would promote "judicial economy" by eliminating the need to address the same or similar issues in two separate actions.
