Cannibalization debate frames Cedar Rapids casino bid
Cedar Rapids mayor Ron Corbett says new Cedar Crossing casino risks cannibalizing Riverside Casino and other Eastern Iowa venues. He notes local casinos have long drawn revenue from Cedar Rapids, while governors and the Racing and Gaming Commission weigh the license ahead of potential competition. Branstad defers to the commission and signals support for a fair process, while dog racing moves loom as bills push to end the subsidy dependent industry.
