Oh, that’s right, they continue to wipe there ass with the US and State constitutions;
SIOUX FALLS, SD – The South Dakota Supreme Court says the city of Sioux Falls exceeded its authority when it enacted a zoning ordinance controlling the location of businesses seeking to place video lottery machines in their establishments.
The justices agreed with a lower court ruling that regulation of video lottery is a state function to the exclusion of municipal regulation. Casino owner Rick Law sued the city after it sought to regulate where he could open new casinos.
The justices in their decision said municipalities are not given the power to license video lottery establishments or otherwise control the location of such establishments. But they said municipalities do have the power through zoning to control the location of alcoholic beverage establishments.
Agree or disagree with video lottery, doesn’t matter. The state controls the number of machines a business can have. When the council voted on this I knew they were barking up the wrong tree. I think Quen Be De Knudson said something like, “Bring on the court challenges.” Another genius move by De.
