A resolution that would let South Dakota voters decide a constitutional amendment authorizing a gaming license for the City of Yankton was in front of the Senate State Affairs Committee Wednesday.

Nick Moser, representing Yankton Area Progressive Growth, says its not focused on a casino.

Moser says it would be a chance to build a major entertainment facility…

Jim Stone, manager of the Ft Randall Casino, operated by the Yankton Sioux Tribe, says there is a long history between his tribe and the city of Yankton….

The bill passed out of committee on a five to four vote with no recommendation. That means a majority of Senators will have to support a move to put it on their calendar.
