Apprehension over the possibility of a major casino coming to New Haven continues, and on Monday, local elected officials signaled opposition to the proposal.

At a town hall meeting in New Haven, State Senators Tyler Johnson, R-New Haven, and Liz Brown, R-Fort Wayne, as well as State Representative Dave Heine, R-New Haven, all said they do not support legislation to allow Full House Resorts to move their gaming license from Rising Sun, Indiana, up to New Haven.

“In my legislative career I’ve not really been for gambling. I have a pretty negative outlook on it,” Johnson told our reporting partners at WPTA.
