Sac County voters say "NO" to gambling

January 7, 2004 By admin

Voters in Sac County yesterday (Tuesday) turned down an effort to bring riverboat gambling to their northwest Iowa locale. The vote on the gambling proposal was 14-hundred-75 “yes” and two-thousand-seven “no.” Organizers of the vote had hoped a riverboat casino could be placed in Hallet’s Pit — a gravel pit — between Lake View and Wall Lake. A statewide moratorium on new gambling licenses is in place and had the Sac County proposal been approved, state officials would also need to remove the moratorium and then approve a license for Sac County. Last month, voters in Clay County turned down a proposed gambling venture for the Spencer area. Gambling questions have also lost in Dickinson, Cerro Gordo, and Linn counties.
