Oregon Non-Tribal Casino Vote Postponed Until 2008
Backers of a proposed non-tribal casino in Multnomah County are folding their cards. Faced with a near-impossible deadline for qualifying for the November 7th ballot, they now plan to wait until 2008 to ask voters to allow Oregon's first non-tribal gambling complex.
Entrepreneurs Bruce Studer and Matthew Rossman had proposed two measures: one to remove the constitutional prohibition on casinos, and the other to place their gambling casino at a defunct greyhound track in Wood Village. But their measures ran up against court challenges, and when a judge finally cleared them to begin collecting signatures they had just a few weeks to collect hundreds of thousands of signatures.
