It appears that Barbour will support change in legislation to allow land-based casinos.

Obviously the primary focus will be on what happens to all the people employed by the casino industry, hotels and other support services in the area and how to take care of them,

We now have a 10-year program and $60 million a year with which to buy land by legislation through the government bonding system.

I will always support legislation which respects and values life.

The support of our industry for this legislation should not be taken for granted.

It's on the top of the agenda. We've got strong bipartisan support. We want to make sure the legislation is right, especially with constitutional issues.
