The Indiana House is putting a $50 million bounty on Terre Haute’s quest to get a casino moved from Gary, according to WIBC host Rob Kendall. Is that the case?
Co-host Abdul-Hakim Shabazz told Kendall that the House is proposing a transfer fee, which essentially is a fee that the state wants to charge the holder of the Gary, Indiana Casino license to move their casino from Gary to Terre Haute.
Kendall:
“That sounds like extortion. What they are saying is that, ‘you as a community who could desperately use this economic development tool may only have it if you may her majesty $50 million dollars.’ What sort of regulation are they going to do with that $50 million?”
