Fort Wayne Casino a Possibility

Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry wants voters to decide whether the state's second largest city should seek a state casino gambling license.

The Democratic first-term mayor said a citywide referendum should be held as early as this fall to decide whether the city should pursue a license.

Henry also said the ongoing debate over whether legalized gambling should be expanded in Fort Wayne should continue through a referendum campaign.

"The decision about gaming is not mine alone," Henry said.
