Casino Opponents Claim Victory In Judge's Decision
Friday, January 12, 2007 04:54 PM - WBEN Newsroom
Buffalo, NY (WBEN) - Federal Judge William Skretny's ruling saying the federal government must determine whether the Fulton Street site is sovereign land is a big victory to casino opponents.
Erie County Executive Joel Giambra says this is the end for what looked to be a bad deal for area interests.
Giambra and others say the ruling enforces laws that make opening a downtown casino illegal.
All involved say even though this is a victory, they expect further battles. |
