DC online gambling delayed again

The D.C. Lottery announced Thursday that it will reschedule community forums that will give residents an opportunity to weigh in on the prospect of local businesses becoming hot spots for Internet gambling.

Lottery director Buddy Roogow says the forums are being delayed because some residents don’t want them to be held during the summer. So instead of mid-August and September, they’ll start in mid-September and run into October.

The D.C. Council approved online gambling as part of a budget bill late last year. It became law in April when Congress did not object. Once it’s launched, the district will be the first state or municipal government in the nation to allow online gambling within its borders.
