Duane Morris Partner Marc D. Brookman to Moderate Discussion Panel at Pennsylvania Gaming Congress
March 6, 2006 | Harrisburg, PA
| Whitaker Center and Hilton Harrisburg Hotel
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court declared the zoning provisions of the 2004 gaming act unconstitutional. The result of the decision significantly limits the Gaming Control Board's control over the location of the five Category 2 casinos and could delay gaming revenues being received by the Commonwealth.
The panel will examine the consequences of the Supreme Court decision and discuss what steps should be taken to correct the deficiencies in the state law. The panelists will further provide an overview of the Pennsylvania land-use process and the practical implications of the Supreme Court's decision.
Joining Mr. Brookman on the panel are John B. Callahan, Mayor of the City of Bethlehem; Frederick Kraus, counsel for Las Vegas Sands Corp.; and Paul Levy, co-chair of the Philadelphia Gaming Advisory Task Force and CEO of Philadelphia's Center City District.
The theme of the conference is "At The Starting Gate," as racetrack slot-machine operations are expected to commence next year.
