A Mississippi House leader said Tuesday that he won’t move forward with a bill to allow a casino in the capital city of Jackson - a proposal that would have been a dramatic change in a decades-old a state law that limits casinos to areas along the Gulf Coast and the Mississippi River.
But, even as House Ways and Means Committee Chairman made the announcement that will likely kill the bill for this year, he offered encouragement to people who might invest in a casino just over 1 mile from the state Capitol building.
