Bowing to the reality of state law, Muskegon County commissioners have officially abandoned their effort to use the Nov. 4 election to measure public opinion about a proposed gambling casino.
They voted 11-0 Tuesday to remove a countywide advisory question from the ballot. It would have asked voters if they approved of a recent resolution, passed by the county board, in support of a proposed casino at the former Great Lakes Downs racetrack property.
Commissioners Tuesday acted on the advice of their legal counsel, Ted Williams, who said they might be violating state law by pressing forward.
