Tribe, Crist ask gambling case reconsideration
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The Seminole Tribe and Gov. Charlie Crist want the Florida Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling that invalidated a deal expanding gambling at Indian casinos.
The tribe and governor filed motions asking for that on Thursday. The justices ruled 7-0 earlier this month against a compact Crist signed with the tribe to allow Las Vegas-style slot machines, blackjack and baccarat games at its Florida casinos. The high court sided with legislative leaders who challenged the compact. They argued Crist cannot make such an agreement without the Legislature's approval. Rehearings are rarely granted, particularly when rulings are unanimous. (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) |
