>From www.minnesotavotes.org....... Introduced by Rep. Bill Haas, Rep. Kent Eken, Rep. Keith Ellison, Rep. Phyllis Kahn, Rep. Jim Rhodes, Rep. Tony Cornish, Rep. Doug Lindgren and Rep. Steve Sviggum on February 16, 2004, to authorize the director of the state lottery to contract for the placement of gaming machines at a state owned casino which would be run in the metropolitan area. The bill imposes a tax on gaming machine revenue and provides for the use of gaming machine revenue. The bill allows for blackjack and other card games at the casino as well. 90 percent of the revenue would go to the general fund the remaining ten percent would be divided up among health, human services, education, and economic development state programs targeted towards American Indians and minorities.
