(Another) hearing on gambling

Casino and sports betting operators are still looking to create some action in Georgia, where the state has a lock on legal gambling in the lottery and has dealt others a losing hand for years.

A state House study committee will hold a hearing Monday in Savannah on “horse racing and betting as well as other matters related to gaming.”  The committee previously received presentations touting fancy resort- and Vegas-style venues and millions in tax revenue

Savannah Republican state Rep. Ron Stephens has been pushing to legalize casinos since his hair was black, he said this summer.  But his colleagues have been turning down Stephens and allies for reasons from moral objections to an inability to decide how to split up the money.  Besides that, constituents don’t tend to call up clamoring for a casino in their town; it’s very much a corporate push.

Conventional wisdom puts a coastal casino — if one is ever built — somewhere along Interstate 95 to catch vacationing motorists.

To see the full schedule of legislative study hearings, keep scrolling, they’re at the end. On the way, check out other public meetings you can watch and agendas you can read for your Coastal Georgia community. Let us know how we’re doing and how you use this list at staff@thecurrentga.org.

This list starts with automated collection that does not involve AI. It is checked and edited by a human. But agencies may announce new meetings, change meeting times or cancel them, sometimes without any online notice. Some publish calendars in more than one place with different information.  Some rely on Facebook posts which may require a login to read and cannot be collected automatically. 

You may want to call ahead and verify the meeting time and place, especially for smaller agencies.
