Counties to talk about gambling, Legislature
Discussions about gambling in south-central Kansas will continue Thursday at
a meeting in Wellington with officials from six counties. Sedgwick County
Commissioner Gwen Welshimer and community development director Irene Hart
will represent Sedgwick County. Other commissioners may attend as well.
Welshimer said representatives will talk about creating a regional coalition
to influence the Legislature to include south-central Kansas in any plan to
authorize casinos. "It hopefully gives us a little more clout, power, a
louder voice," she said. "That's the purpose of putting this together -- to
have a louder voice."
