TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Speaker Mike O'Neal says he doesn't know when the
Debate had been scheduled Wednesday on a resolution directing the attorney general to challenge the state gaming commission's decision to let the project go forward. But the House canceled the debate when evening came.
O'Neal said it got too late for a long debate.
Iowa-based Peninsula Gaming plans to build the casino about 18 miles south of Wichita.
Critics note Peninsula and two executives face misdemeanor campaign finance charges in Iowa.
Peninsula says it expects the case to be resolved in its favor. Project supporters say the charges aren't serious enough to bar the firm from building its casino.
