SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Republican governor candidate Dennis
Daugaard (DOO'-gahrd) says it's still not known if South Dakota
will be hurt by an Iowa casino being built just a few miles from
Sioux Falls.
He says it's possible that people attracted to the area by the
$120 million Lyon County Resort and Casino in northwest Iowa will
make trips to Sioux Falls for shopping or alternate entertainment.
Daugaard's comments came after Democratic governor candidate
Scott Heidepriem (HY'-duh-prim) said if elected he would convene a
task force to study options such as building a competing casino.
Daugaard says he doesn't know if South Dakota residents would be
enthused about another big casino, but that he would be open to
considering the idea.
