Gambling With the Good Life has come out against three initiative petitions to expand gambling in Nebraska.
Executive Director Pat Loontjer says the group will campaign against a constitutional amendment that would allow casinos throughout Nebraska as it did successfully in 2004 and 2006. . .

Former Husker Football Coach Tom Osborne will work for Gambling With the Good Life against the initiatives that seek to allow casinos in Nebraska. . .

The main initiative seeks to change the state constitution to allow for casino gambling. The other two would create a commission to regulate the casinos and outline how the taxes they generate would be distributed.
