Casino Petitioners In No Hurry

The petitioners of a proposed casino at the defunct Multnomah Kennel Club have decided to wait and place their measures before voters in the November 2008 election.

Lake Oswego entrepreneurs Bruce Studer and Matthew Rossman got the green light to collect signatures to create the state's first non-Indian casino Monday and put it before voters in the upcoming election.

But the timing of the approval left casino backers with roughly two weeks to gather up 175,000 valid signatures. Although they said they were confident in their ability to gather a large number of signatures quickly, they decided not to move forward this past weekend.
