Two groups have begun campaign efforts to put measures on Michigan’s November ballot to expand gambling operations.
Group One, “Michigan Is Yours” wants voters to allow up to seven more casinos in Benton Harbor, Detroit, Flint, Lansing, Muskegon and Romulus along with Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
The group proposes that a portion of the tax revenue generated from the new casinos be used towards funding the state’s Promise grant college scholarship program that was eliminated this fiscal year due to budget restraints. Another portion would benefit the state’s “Pure Michigan” advertising campaign.
The group also moves to allow sports betting in the state’s casinos, if approved.
Group 2, “Racing to Save Michigan”, also seeks to permit new casinos, of which five out of eight would be at horse racing tracks.
The Board of State Canvassers approved the form of both group’s petitions on Friday, however about 450,000 signatures are needed to ultimately get the issue on the ballot.
Michigan has 22 operating casinos with another under construction. Gambling expansions require a statewide and local vote, unless it involves Detroit’s three casinos or those operated by American Indian tribes.
Casinos already operating in Michigan have opposed expanding gambling.
