NEW HAVEN, Ind. (WOWO) — Indiana State Senator Andy Zay introduced legislation to move the struggling Rising Star Casino from Rising Sun to New Haven.
Zay represents Huntington, Wabash, and Grant Counties and introduced the bill despite the opposition of New Haven and Allen County-based State Representatives and Senators.
He said he did so because he views the move as a “state decision” to move an underperforming casino away from competition in Ohio and Kentucky.

Translation: As a State Representative, It is my duty to cram this casino down the throats of the Residents of New Haven whether you want it or not, since we need to move this failed Casino. It doesn’t matter if New Haven Broadly does not want the Casino, Some of us at the State Level don’t care what the people who will be immediately affect by this casino think about an establishment that will generally negatively impact your community.
I know nobody (except the Government and Casino Owners) wanted this Casino as of Last Fall, but the Recent Poll that came out said the majority of Allen County (who is not New Haven) wants this casino, even though the main of error was terrible and was paid for by the Casino with extremely leading questions focused on securing 1 conclusion.
Luckily, I am not your Representative so I don’t need to worry about your vote. Go scream at Tyler Johnson. All he will say is “It wasn’t me”. Great Optics Mr. State REPRESENTATIVE!!!
Casino – Go Away
State Reps – Represent the Constituents, not a freakin Casino
