Story By: The Associated Press. Copyright 2010
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Democratic governor candidate Scott Heidepriem says South Dakota needs to tackle what he sees as the drain of state dollars into an Iowa casino being built just a few miles from Sioux Falls.
Heidepriem says as governor-elect he would convene a task force to study options such as building a competing casino that could help pay for a new events center in Sioux Falls.
He's running against Republican Lt. Gov. Dennis Daugaard in the November election.
Work has started on the $120 million Lyon County Resort and Casino in northwest Iowa. It is scheduled to open next summer.
