Board voted 13-10 against a Feb. 2 advisory referendum on the issue, killing what proponents said was the best way to inform leaders where the public stood in expanding gambling into local businesses.
questioned whether the vote would be worth spending $17,000 to put a question on the ballot only to learn that voters are as narrowly split as the board.
board members now will turn their attention to a likely Dec. 1 vote on an ordinance banning video gambling from the about 45 restaurants, bars and other eligible businesses
