LaValle pushes for timely Pennsylvania gambling progress
State Senator Gerald LaValle voices frustration two years after the Gaming Act, citing no tax relief, no operating tracks, and no slots parlors with 2007 as the expected start. He notes rivalry over Beaver and Lawrence counties, supports a regional approach, and warns against midstream rule changes that could undermine a level playing field.

Senate OKs bill to end middleman slot distributor rule
Harrisburg AP The state Senate passed 29 21 a bill to abolish the requirement that slot machine manufacturers use middlemen to sell to Pennsylvania casinos. Democratic amendment would raise taxes on slots to help fund law enforcement. The measure aims to resolve a long running split on distributor regulation affecting the first slots parlors set to open, with board delays possible.
