Casinos Coming to God’s Favorite Part of the Hoosier State?!?

Say it ain’t so! This from Micah Clark’s American Family Association of Indiana E-newsletter today:

Coming to a Northeastern Hoosier City Near You

One of the few areas of the state that the predatory gambling industry has not yet invaded is Northeast Indiana. That may change with the 2008 legislative session. According to recent news reports, Senator Robert Meeks from LaGrange is going to file a bill that would allow a Gary casino to move from Lake Michigan to a lake in northeastern Indiana’s Steuben County. Meeks was approached by Don Barden, who owns two side-by-side Majestic Star casinos in Gary, about the possibility of relocating one of his licenses. We will let you know when the bill is filed and assigned to a committee.

You can reach State Senator Robert Meeks at 317.232.9400.
