Opposition Group Forms to Fight Casino Proposals

Opposition Group Forms to Fight Casino Proposals

April 20, 2010 AP A group opposing possible ballot proposals that would expand gambling in Michigan is kicking off its campaign.

The opposition group being announced Tuesday includes some law enforcement officials and anti-gambling groups along with some state lawmakers. Opponents to the new gambling plans also likely will include operators of Michigan's existing casinos.

Two separate ballot proposals that would allow more casinos to open in Michigan are in the preliminary stages of trying to qualify for the November ballot.

One would allow casinos to be opened in Benton Harbor, Detroit, Flint, Lansing, Muskegon, Port Huron and at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

A separate ballot proposal would allow casinos at Michigan horse tracks.
