This is exactly why WI lawmakers need to oppose the legalization of Daily Fantasy Sport

January 18, 2018 Posted by Citizens Against Expanded Gambling Uncategorized

This is exactly why WI lawmakers need to oppose the legalization of Daily Fantasy Sports.

“A new daily fantasy sports game that lets users hone in on a single NFL playoff game has some gambling experts wondering if the contest inches the industry closer to the territory of sports betting that remains illegal in most of the United States.”

“Many of the new fantasy sports laws don’t even require states to approve new contests.”

“None of these states really thought about this,” he said. “They were given these laws to pass and they did it. There wasn’t a lot of legislative debate.”

City takes stance against Ho-Chunk trust plan

Jun 21, 2011

"The City of Baraboo agreed to support Sauk County's opposition to the Ho-Chunk Nation taking land near their casino into tax-exempt status Monday evening, with the proviso that the interested parties should work on a mutually agreeable compromise. Controversy has been sparked among local government bodies after the Nation applied to the federal Bureau of Indian affairs to have 600 acres of land along Highway 12 and North Reedsburg Road given trust status. Schauf has estimated trust status for the properties would result in a loss of about $700,000 in taxes for the county, Baraboo School District, town of Delton and other governments."
