Florida: Casino opponents pledge lawsuit if legislature expands gambling, but is their case strong enough?

Legislature

Legislature approves Gov. Ron DeSantis’ might propose gambling compact with the Seminole Tribe. But how likely are anti-casino gambling forces in Florida to take the state to court?

It’s a sure thing.

In an interview with the Phoenix, John Sowinski, president of No Casinos, said they’re interviewing lawyers. He works as a communications consultant.

It may not come to that if Sowinki’s lobbyists can persuade the legislature to scrap the agreement during a special session set to begin on Monday, which he said they intend to do.

However, if lawmakers agree to expand the tribe’s gambling operations, the 30-year deal would guarantee a $2.5 billion return to the state in the first five years.
