Bill to legalize off the sw black DetUng lures bookies pay 2000

If enacted, it could push more gamblers to operate legally. Elyria and nearby towns show strong betting interest despite risks. The sports notes cover local high school hoops, a YMCA league clash, and upcoming baseball and golf items with team highlights and personnel.
