County Decision on Constructing of Casinos Delayed Indefinitely

Plans to build a casino in Park City,‭ ‬Kansas,‭ ‬have reached a dead end,‭ ‬as Sedgwick County commissioners came to an agreement to put off voting on a casino referendum for an indefinite period of time.‭ ‬Two local legislators requested that a referendum be held in order to determine the number of people that actually support casinos in the county.

Five county commissioners felt that county residents needed to have a say,‭ ‬a chance to give their opinions on the construction of casinos.‭ ‬However a change of heart occurred when Rep.‭ ‬Brenda Landwehr,‭ ‬R-Wichita,‭ ‬as well as eight other legislators,‭ ‬decided that this was a state,‭ ‬and not county issue.‭

Wichita Mayor Carlos Mayans did not feel this issue was important enough to warrant spending the city's money,‭ ‬however many Wichita City council members felt residents needed to have a say in whether or not casinos should be built.‭
