Trump leaves so. Indiana casino plans behind

 

February 3

It seems that the people living in the south Indiana where Donald Trump was going to build a casino and golf resort are lamenting there loss. In a situation where most communities are against building gaming resorts, this communities was very keen to it. The community in general, believed Trump's plan to rejuvenate the area by building a first-rate casino and golf resort was just what the doctor ordered for the local lagging economy.

Not helping Orange County restore itself to its original glory was not necessarily Trump's doing.

Trump's casino company is in bankruptcy and the company already owes Indiana money for another casino property. This being said, Indiana's new Governor,  Mitch Daniels ordered a review of the casino deal, fearing that rump might not be the best bet for the development. The plan's estimated cost was to be $108 million.

Yesterday, the state's gaming director notified local officials that Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts Inc.stopped negotiating for the deal to be finalized.

Officials at Trump said that a recent state tax court decision that the company already owed $18 million elsewhere in the state (back taxes) for its casino on Lake Michigan was a determining factor in the decision. Also mentioned for the decision, was the potential for building in other parts of the state by Trump.

Whatever the real reason for the collapse, there is always online gambling for those in French Lick.
