BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) - A statewide ballot proposal that would allow eight new privately-owned casinos in the state is opposed by an activist group that held a public meeting at FireKeepers Casino Thursday morning.
The group, Protect MI Vote , opposes the expansion because, they maintain, the constitution-amending proposal "strips away the public's right to vote on gaming expansions in the future."
FireKeepers Casino CEO Bruce McKee and Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Pottawatomi tribal chairman Homer Mandoka attended the meeting along with Protect MI Vote spokespeople James Nye and John Truscott.
