Ohio Supreme Court to
hear complaint against racinos.
"The anti-gambling group, Ohio Roundtable, filed a lawsuit challenging
Kasich’s decision to allow VLTs at the state’s seven horse tracks. The
group charged that the state was letting the racetracks keep too much of
the proceeds from slot machines — two-thirds — compared with other
lottery games and that installing thousands of electronic slot machines
was not an expansion of the Ohio Lottery, which is the state’s
justification for allowing the VLTs into racetracks without a public
vote, among other issues."
Sounds shady but typical for government.
"Both a Franklin County Common Pleas
judge and the 10th District Court of Appeals dismissed the suit because
they determined the opponents do not have standing to bring an action
against the governor, the racinos and others."
They probably won't have standing until the racinos are in operation, then it'll be a fiat accompli
