9 May 2005

Sen. Brad Hutto says if lawmakers let coastal counties decide whether to have casino boats they ought to let Orangeburg County decide whether it wants a high stakes bingo parlor run by the Catawba Indian Nation.

The Catawbas want to build a bingo parlor near Santee and Interstate 95 that would offer games 24 hours a day linked to other bingo games across the country so bigger payouts could be offered.

But a bill to allow the bingo parlor stalled last year. This year, senators are deciding whether to allow local governments to ban casino boats from their shores. The bill should be taken up this week.
