MIAMI – During the Board of County Commission meeting today, Miami-Dade County Chairman Joe A. Martinez introduced a resolution that would have placed a question on the upcoming Countywide election, to be held on January 31, 2012, to electors on whether they support the presence of destination resort casinos in Miami-Dade County.
“Our legislature has introduced a bill that would allow destination resort casinos in our community. We have all heard from those interested in opening a casino but as an elected representative of this community, I want to hear from our constituents,” said Chairman Martinez. “For that reason, I proposed this non-binding question to go forward in the January election along with the Home Rule Charter questions so that the voters can tell us if they want Miami to become a resort casino destination.”
