Mississippi governor says he'll sign onshore casino bill

The Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) � Gov. Haley Barbour says he'll sign a bill this week to let Mississippi's hurricane-battered coast casinos move a short distance onto the shore.

The bill means the casinos, now on barges, can develop buildings onshore 800 feet � nearly the length of three football fields. The state Senate passed it Monday after it cleared the House last week.

"I'm pleased that the Legislature saw fit to do that. I know it was a tough decision, but I think they made the right decision," said Barbour, who angered many of his socially conservative supporters by advocating the onshore proposal....

The state Senate passed the bill 29-21 on Monday. It passed the House 60-53 on Friday....

Before Katrina, the coastal gambling houses employed about 14,000 people and generated about $500,000 a day in state and local taxes. Thousands more people had jobs supplying goods or services to casinos.

The bill says casinos can move 800 feet on shore or � in Biloxi's Harrison County only � to the southern boundary of U.S. 90, a major east-west beach route.
