NEBRASKA VOTERS WILL DECIDE ON CASINO GAMBLING AT HORSE RACING TRACKS FOLLOWING SUPREME COURT RULING

LINCOLN- On Thursday the Supreme Court ruled Nebraska voters will get to weigh in on a set of three ballot initiatives that would permit and regulate casino gambling at Nebraska horse racing tracks, the State Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

The court ruled 4-3 in favor of several pro-gambling groups and ordered Secretary of State Bob Evnen to place the three initiatives on the Nov. 3 ballot. Under the ballot questions will be allowing casino gambling at horse tracks, establishment of regulations and tax, and directing tax collections towards the offset of property taxes. 

Gov. Pete Ricketts, a gambling opponent, said in a statement, “While I respect the judgment of the Court on the gambling initiatives, I urge Nebraskans to keep gambling out of the Good Life when they head to the polls in November.”
