TouchPlay speakers clash over Iowa lottery terminals debate
A 2 1/2 hour hearing on TouchPlay video lottery terminals drew more than 50 speakers including small business owners who credit the games with saving stores and jobs while opponents call them the crack cocaine of gambling. The Iowa Lottery expects 30 million in state revenue this year and 45 million next year. Gov. Vilsack has a moratorium and task force studying the issue with recommendations due next month.

An 18 month plan would not fit a project of this size to open in August 2008, according to an OPN Architects representative.
