Senator Greg Albritton, R-Atmore, has carried gambling legislation in the Senate this session. Late Tuesday night he voted against a conference committee report he was part of creating.
He said his vote was related to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians.
“This is a bill that is not conducive to my constituencies in my district,” said Albritton. “This bill put restrictions and restraints on PCI so that their participation in the industry would be extreme limited with high competition. It didn’t provide any avenue for any particular growth or even sustainability. That was the primary reason.”
PCI has three facilities on federal land in Atmore, Montgomery, and Wetumpka.
