The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday endorsed Genting Group’s plans to build a casino-resort in Miami.
The Miami Herald Reports that, " The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday endorsed bringing casino resorts to South Florida, throwing the weight of the region’s largest business group behind the push to expand the state’s gambling laws. A resolution adopted by the Chamber’s board includes provisions that are stricter than the current industry-backed bill under consideration in Tallahassee. The Chamber wants Florida to mandate a local casino tax, local hiring, equal treatment for existing casinos at racetracks and jai-alai frontons, and countywide voter approval for new casinos. "
