Southeast Kansas casino debate tangled by stalled bill
In Topeka, Rep. Bob Grant and Rep. Doug Gatewood push to lower the state owned casino minimum investment in southeast Kansas from 225 million to 100 million to lure a developer. The move clashes with House GOP tactics and a separate Wichita Mulvane project review. Peninsula Gaming has begun Mulvane work with about 55 million spent so far.
