Expanded Gaming Talks Back On In NH?

Published: November 8, 2010 01:27 pm EST

According to a report, discussions about the expansion of gaming in the State of New Hampshire could be

back on.

An article by the Eagle-Tribune explains that with a new legislature in place, a veto on expanded gaming by Governor John Lynch could be overridden.

Senator-elect Jim Rausch was quoted as saying that he was not opposed to the expansion of gaming in the state, and that the millions of dollars the gaming could produce for the government would go a long way in solving budgetary problems.

Senator Rausch was cited as saying if the state needs revenue, it should come from a non-tax source. "The only non-tax source I know is gaming," he said.
