(US).- Fort Lauderdale commissioners voted this week to oppose a push to bring mega casinos to Florida. Other political leaders, including Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado and Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez, have embraced the proposal to bring casino resorts to South Florida.
The unanimous vote follows a similar decision by Miami Beach commissioners last month.
Florida lawmakers are considering bills that would loosen state law to allow three us$ 2 billion casino resorts to open in Florida, following approval by county voters.
