THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2002 A federal judge dealt the final blow to supporters of expanded gaming in Nebraska by refusing to hear a challenge in time for the initiative to be placed on the upcoming November ballot. The initiative was kicked off by a state judge. The state Supreme Court agreed to an expedited review but it won't be resolved before ballots are printed. A federal judge refused to intervene. The petition seeks to authorize video slot machines at bars, restaurants, race tracks and keno parlors. If passed, tribes would be allowed to operate the same games. Get the Story:
