Maine lawmakers to stop casino vote
The report published by the Portland Press Herald said that the move, if successful, would quash any vote on the casino this November and set back to square one the secretive group of investors and political operatives with ties to gambling entrepreneurs.
“If we don’t stop some of these types of referendums in the Legislature, they are going to get more and more and more extreme,” Senate Garrett Mason claimed.
Luchini said he’s so concerned with what he sees as voter deception that he wants lawmakers “to put all the options on the table.” If the Legislature could be successful in killing the casino, it will send a message to others who might seek to exploit the state’s ballot question process for personal gain, he said.
Both lawmakers said the effort was deceptive about who is behind it and who would benefit, and cited the fact that it’s written in such a way that it would allow only casino entrepreneur Shawn Scott or his associates to operate slot machines or a casino in York County.
