Ohio Voters Again Reject Casino Gambling.

Ohio voters have rejected a proposed $600,000,000 casino -- the fourth time plans for expanded gambling in the state have been turned down since 1990. In unofficial returns, the gambling issue was defeated 62 percent to 38 percent. Supporters of Issue 6 bet that voters would think more about Ohio's economic problems than their previous opposition to casinos and gambling. The state in August recorded its highest unemployment rate in 16 years at 7.4 percent.
