Penn National halts work at slots site (Maine) - Bangor Daily News
Excerpt:
"In response to a legislative push to balance the state budget by increasing Maine’s share of revenues from slot machines, Penn National Gaming Inc. pulled the plug Tuesday on further work on the $131 million gaming and hotel complex it has been building across Main Street from Bass Park.
Supporters of the project criticized lawmakers for backing out of a business agreement, jeopardizing jobs, and threatening economic development efforts.
Gambling foes said Penn National’s decision to stop work was merely a scare tactic."
