After a lot of questions, Sedgwick County agrees to be a part of a coalition
to include south central Kansas in expanded gambling discussions. Five
counties are considering this coalition: Sedgwick, Harvey, Sumner, Cowley
and Kingman. On Wednesday, Sedgwick County Commissioners questioned what it
means to be a part of the group, which will be known as the South Central
Coalition for Fair Play. The idea is to let lawmakers in Topeka know the
counties want to be considered in talks about expanded gambling and
destination casinos. Five commissioners approved becoming a coalition
member. Dave Unruh voted against it.
