Apparently the Secretary of State isn’t the only one concerned with the way a casino was given site approval on the beach in Biloxi.
Senate Bill 2780 — introduced before Monday’s legislative deadline — seeks to change the state constitution. It would require any company wanting to use Public Trust Tidelands as part of a casino project to obtain a tidelands lease from the Secretary of State and not through any city, county or other municipality.
The bill comes after the Mississippi Gaming Commission in December gave site approval to RW Development to build a casino on U.S. 90 and Veterans Avenue in Biloxi.
