Miss. Lawmakers OK Casino Move to Dry Land - Yahoo! News: "Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says he'll sign a bill this week to let hurricane-battered coastal casinos move a short distance onto dry land.
The state Senate passed the bill 29-21 on Monday. The House approved the measure last week.
The final vote came a month after Hurricane Katrina smashed many of Mississippi's floating casinos. Barbour pushed for the legislation in a special session dealing with hurricane recovery, saying the storm showed that the casinos would be safer on shore."
