"Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush fought long and hard to keep casino expansion out of the Sunshine State during his time in office.
He admitted Tuesday that times might be changing.
During a meeting with the Las Vegas Review-Journal Editorial Board, Bush said Florida’s Legislature might allow the expansion of casino gambling, beyond the state’s race track casinos and the casinos operated by the Seminole Indian tribe.
The lure of tax dollars from casinos may be driving the decision.
“I opposed gambling expansion, but I’m not governor anymore,” Bush said."
