The Ohio Jobs and Growth Committee has put forth a petition seeking voter approval for the construction of casinos in four Ohio cities, while state regulators explore a separate plan allowing slots in racetracks without a vote.
According to the committee, casinos in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo would lead to $1 billion in private investment, $600 million in tax revenue and would add over 20,000 new jobs to Ohio’s struggling economy. The group is looking to begin collecting signatures to have the legislation added to the November 3rd ballot if Attorney General Richard Cordray approves the proposed constitutional amendment.
The Ohio State Racing Commission, the plan’s opposition, is compiling their own proposal for state-run slot machines at seven horse racetracks.
“This petition they submit today will cut out racetracks,” said commission executive director Sam Zonak. “They want casinos in four cities. That’s not going to help us.”
The commission says that the casino plan is not looking out for the state’s best interests and their proposal of state-run slots will create more of an economic stimulus for Ohio.
Ohio has been down this road before, a vote in November would mark the fifth in 20 years for casinos is southwest Ohio. Voters have shot down all other previous attempts.
