October 25, 2006 (MUNCIE, Ind.) - Some lobbyists pushing to legalize electronic gambling machines are finding a more receptive audience in eastern Indiana -- where authorities raided more than 20 taverns accused of violating the law.
Indiana Licensed Beverage Association officials drew about 40 bar and restaurant owners to a meeting yesterday. It was one of a series of public meetings around the state to persuade lawmakers that they should legalize video gambling when the General Assembly convenes in January.
The group's president, Don Marquardt, says enforcing the law in taverns is driving the video gambling machines into other venues such as convenience stores, where state excise police lack authority.
