| Type | Disposition |
| Subtype | Approved |
| Description | DISP-APPROVED ~ FSC-OPINION: The general power of non-charter counties to "carry on county government" does not constitute authorization to conduct a referendum to approve slot machine gaming. The referendum conducted by Gadsden County regarding slot machine gaming therefore was not conducted pursuant to a "statutory or constitutional authorization" as required by section 551.102(4). Because the referendum was invalid, Gretna Racing was not an "eligible facility" under the statute. The First District thus was correct in upholding the Division's decision to deny the license sought by Gretna Racing. So we approve the result reached by the First District and answer the rephrased certified question in the negative.It is so ordered. |
