Presidential candidates rated for stances on gaming
By Megan Messerly, Las Vegas Sun
The American Gaming Association gave only two presidential candidates, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, a “green light” for their stances on gaming in its voter guide released last week.
Clinton received high marks for saying casinos spur economic development and praising Las Vegas gaming employees for their hard work — despite having opposed bringing casinos to Arkansas when she was the state’s first lady.
Carson was commended for saying that gaming issues should be left up to the states, his only apparent stance on gaming.
