LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) _ Supporters of a plan to legalize casinos in Arkansas
have submitted thousands of additional signatures to try and get their proposal
on the November ballot.
Driving Arkansas Forward on Tuesday submitted 43,952 signatures to the
secretary of state’s office for the proposed constitutional amendment the group
is advocating.
The proposal would expand casino gambling at a Hot Springs horse track and a
West Memphis dog track. It would also legalize casinos in Pope and Jefferson
counties.
The group was given 30 additional days last month to gather signatures after it
fell short of the nearly 85,000 signatures from registered voters needed to
qualify for the ballot. Officials last month said the group had submitted 70,054
valid signatures.
