A large majority of people think the idea of allowing four more casinos in North Carolina should be put directly to the voters to decide, according to a new poll.
The poll, which was conducted earlier this week by the conservative John Locke Foundation, found 76 percent of voters support putting the decision to legalize more casinos on a statewide referendum.
“There may be some public concern about the way they’re going about the casinos because right now all of the talk has been behind closed doors, that this is going to be something that will be put into a final budget deal,” said Mitch Kokai, senior political analyst at the Locke Foundation.
