After two hours of testimony from roughly three dozen people, a committee chair opted not to advance a proposal to move a casino license from southeastern Indiana 160 miles north — an idea that pitted neighbor against neighbor in a small Indiana city.
Under Senate Bill 293, an Ohio River casino license would move north from Rising Sun to New Haven, located near Fort Wayne. Moving from one city to another would only be permitted if operators meet certain requirements, such as getting approval from the Indiana Gaming Commission and drawing up plans to redevelop the newly vacant lot in Ohio County.
Sen. Ron Alting, R-Lafayette, pointed to strong opposition to the relocation and opted to pull the bill after listening to about 20 opponents.
