Riverside gambling ads spark ethics complaint over use of firefighters
The anti gambling group Communities Against River Expansion filed a complaint with the Iowa Ethics Board and county attorney alleging riverboat casino ads misused public money by featuring Riverside firefighters and trucks. The plan to build a 200 room resort near Riverside in Washington County would create 600 jobs and draw about 1.6 million visitors annually, with proposed opening pending state approval and a Nov. 10 filing deadline for new riverboat casino applications.
