Virginia Republican urges federal study on gambling impact
Rep. Frank Wolf from Virginia proposes a federal commission to study the social and economic effects of legalized gambling. The plan would examine state races, lotteries, casinos, riverboats, and Indian gaming to determine regulation and crime implications. Wolf notes weak federal oversight of Indian gaming and questions state sovereignty. He has no co sponsors. A Tama casino run by an Indian group is mentioned as an example.
