A coalition that aims to stop a Las Vegas businesswoman from opening up casinos in Arkansas is getting all of its money from a New York-based company that manages casinos and other entertainment venues.
Financial disclosure forms show the Stop Casinos Now Committee got $84,347 from Delaware North Companies. The company's website reports it manages casinos in New York, Arizona, Florida, West Virginia, Illinois and Arkansas.
Last month, Stop Casinos Now held a press conference announcing it aims to stop Nancy Todd from opening up four casinos in the Natural State. Todd runs Nancy Todd's Poker Palace.
The Stop Casinos Now Committee consists of 19 state lawmakers, Republicans and Democrats, along with some sheriffs and ministers. They have said they think Las Vegas-style gambling will bring Sin City problems to Arkansas.
