N.Y. confident on gaming challenge

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 2002

New York Gov. George Pataki (R) isn't worried about a lawsuit filed to stop the expansion of gaming in his state, a spokesperson said on Tuesday.

An anti-gambling coalition, including two Republican lawmakers, says legislation Pataki signed is unconstitutional. The group wants to stop six new tribal casinos, video lottery terminals and New York's participation in a multi-state lottery.
