Editorial: Let Colorado voters decide on tribal casino

"Colorado political leaders are right to cast a wary eye at a proposal to build a $100 million Indian casino in Pueblo. The latest plan is a mutation of the old scheme for a casino near Denver International Airport. The location may be changed, but the idea still rests on the same underlying determination to deny the people of Colorado a vote on the issue.

Gov. Bill Owens and other state leaders have fought the plan, rightly insisting that promoters of any new casino should refer their plans to Colorado voters, just as the original limited-gaming backers did."
