ST PAUL, Minn. Electronic pull-tabs have been a surprisingly successful stream of revenue for the state budget and Minnesota charities in recent years, but a group of lawmakers is warning that could all come to a screeching halt.
Republicans say more than 400 charities across the state and nearly 1,500 local bars and eateries that host those games will suffer a devastating hit if a proposed revamping of the e-tab games becomes law.
