In a razor-thin vote, the Indiana Senate approved House Bill 1038, paving the way for a proposed casino in northeast Indiana despite mounting opposition testimony. The measure passed by a single vote following a late amendment that removed Wayne County from consideration and limited the project’s relocation site to the northeastern region. Supporters argue the development could generate $330 million in annual revenue, more than Rs. 1,400 crore at current exchange rates, and create thousands of jobs.
