From the Argus Leader, Deadwood is making noise that they’re going to take it to the ballot to approve sports betting in SD after it was defeated in committee on a 7-3 vote:
Mike Rodman, executive director of the Deadwood Gaming Association, said they’ll regroup now that Senate Joint Resolution 2 has been defeated and likely move forward on collecting signatures for a ballot measure.
The measure would be a change to the SD Constitution, requiring the group to collect a minimum of 33,921 valid signatures, according to the Secretary of State.
I’d watch for them to get moving on this pretty quickly, as it’s a heavy lift to get that many signatures and to get it done correctly.
Is Mike Rodman the brother to NBA great Dennis “The Worm” Rodman ?
