Anti Gambling Case Watched By 44 Cities
Forty four Southern California cities join the case urging the California Supreme Court to decide if state law preempts local anti gambling ordinances. The dispute concerns Long Beach and the Standard Club and whether games like panguingue fall under local or state regulation, with broader questions on preemption and the legality of card games for stakes. Local cities argue for home rule while opponents warn against enabling professional gamblers.
