twitterCasino proposals draw fire
Tuesday, Feb. 8, 2000 | 11:11 a.m.
WASHINGTON -- The budget proposal President Clinton sent to Congress on Monday includes two measures opposed by casinos: a plan to withhold income taxes on keno and bingo winnings and a proposal to enlist casinos' help in collecting child-support payments from deadbeat parents.
In a letter to Clinton, Rep. Jim Gibbons, R-Nev., said collecting child support is laudable. But, he said, "the decision to have the federal government require a private industry to assume the role of a government agency concerns me."
Sens. Richard Bryan and Harry Reid also criticized the bingo and keno winnings proposal.
