Maine's governor says greed is behind a smartly-funded proposal to construct a new casino in the southern part of the state. The thought has now certified for the ballot in November.
Gov. Paul LePage, speaking on WVOM-FM on Tuesday, mentioned Maine doesn't have the "vital mass" to aid a 3rd casino, along with the Oxford casino and the Hollywood on line casino inn & Raceway Bangor. He has criticized the proposed casino, and referred to the concept will damage the state's financial system.
The Secretary of State's office says the backers of the idea had sufficient signatures to get on the ballot.
LePage, a Republican, called the idea an instance of the "slow deterioration of your executive process" and referred to as on the Legislature to unravel the be counted.
closing year, the legislature defeated an effort for a on line casino in York or Cumberland County that LePage observed would damage the state.
