Nebraska Group’s Petition Drive Progressing

The pro-gambling group, Keep the Money in Nebraska, has until July 7 to collect 113,900 valid signature to place on the 2020 ballot a constitutional amendment allowing slots at racetracks. Officials said they raised nearly $1 million, mostly from Ho-Chunk Inc., the Winnebago Tribe's economic development arm. Nebraskans gamble $500,000 annually in other states, group officials said.
