Fifty-three percent of people who responded to a Daily Report poll say they support the Louisiana Gaming Control Board’s decision to give Pinnacle Entertainment more time to turn in construction documents for its proposed River Road casino resort. Forty-four percent of respondents say the casino operator shouldn’t have gotten more time and 3% were undecided. More than 1,100 people participated in the survey. The gaming board voted yesterday to give Pinnacle until Nov. 5 to turn in information. The casino operator says it is committed to building the resort, but the current state of the capital markets prevent Pinnacle from getting financing at a rate that makes sense for the project.
Today’s question: Should Louisiana have a single higher education board?
