Voters would approve a casino ballot measure for Portland, OR
More than half of Oregon voters support creation of a casino in the Portland area, according to a poll released today. The poll, by Riley Research Associates of Portland, found that 54 percent of Oregon voters either somewhat or strongly support the idea, while 40 percent oppose the idea and 6 percent were unsure. The poll was commissioned by Matt Rossman and Bruce Studer, two Lake Oswego businessmen who have been pursing the idea of a casino resort at the former Multnomah Greyhound Park in Wood Village.
