Gambling opponents from across the state rallied at the State Capitol Tuesday against the new Seminole Compact awaiting approval from the Legislature.
Opponents argued the new deal is unconstitutional and must go before voters.
The proposed compact with the Seminole Tribe brought one of the largest gatherings of Floridians to the State Capitol since the start of the pandemic.
But they didn’t come to show support.
“We do not want to be the destination casino state,” said John Stemberger, President of Florida Family Action.
