Rare Saturday news bit

City Council voted the casino referendum out of committee 6-0, meaning it should go to a vote in mid-March. Also noted here are that DiCicco and Campbell will support the measure; in addition to the 6 votes of the committee (assuming they were voting for more than procedure), that would be awfully close to the 9 necessary to get the measure on the May ballot. The legal future of te proposed location restrictions may be unclear, but the level of local opposition is becoming hard to miss.
