casinos to move inland.
House Minority Leader Brian Bosma of Indianapolis suggested Wednesday that it would be
an expansion of gambling, and said there’s been enough of that already.
The Senate considered a bill that originally
would have allowed riverboat casinos on Lake Michigan and the Ohio River to move inland. Supporters say inland casinos might
attract more customers and help stave off competition from gambling expansions or possible expansions in neighboring states.
The Senate ultimately removed the land-based provisions, but they could be revived in the House.
