Rhode Island’s governor has say “no” to giving the voters the right to decide whether or not they want full, Vegas-style casinos in Twin River and at the Newport Grand.
Governor Donald L. Carcieri has vetoed the legislation calling for a statewide vote this November.
According to Carcieri, it is not reasonable to ask voters in his state to decide on such an issue. He is concerned with the impact such legislation would have on the state’s and budget.
“The very purpose of state-operated gaming in Rhode Island is to generate revenues in lieu of taxes,” Carcieri said. “It is unreasonable to ask Rhode Islanders to vote on these questions and to approve or reject the attendant expansion of gambling when the impact on the state’s finances cannot be determined.”
Even with Carcieri’s veto, the issue is not dead. House and Senate leaders could attempt to override the governor’s veto of a bill with a three-fifths vote of both the 75-member House and the 38-member Senate.
