CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Gov. Joe Manchin says Tri-State Racetrack & Gaming Center owes the public an explanation of why it's taking so long to launch the table games they fought so hard for.
Voters in Kanawha County approved the games last fall after a divisive campaign, but Tri-State has yet to launch poker, craps and blackjack.
Nor has the company broken ground on a promised $250 million expansion or begun creating the promised 1,000 jobs.
Manchin says the track owners ought to be upfront and truthful about their time lines.
Dan Adkins, vice president of Michigan-based Hartman & Tyner, Tri-State's parent, has not responded to requests for comment this week.
Manchin says Tri-State's schedule is so intertwined with public policy, the people have the right to know what's going on.

I'm glad Tri-State is smoke free, and OBAMA will be our next president.

I agree with John...Why did all of these elected officials from WV vote for Obama when the people who voted for them overwhelmingly voted for Clinton??? This made me wonder why after all the good things some of them have done, why am I voting for them if they do not even consider the voters decisions?
