North Country reps were about evenly divided on whether to allow casino gambling, but the division wasn’t along party lines.
As NHPRreported on Wednesday the House again rejected casino gambling, killing SB 113 by a vote of 208 to 156.
Governor Maggie Hassan visited House Democrats before the vote to urge their support. The Governor has long favored allowing one casino but last week said she would sign off on two casinos as long as the second casino was built only after a review.

* Edmond Gionet, Republican, of Lincoln
