LO CAL/STATE The Michigan Daily - Thursday, November 7, 1996 - 5A State votes on casinos, bears Exterior decorating JOE University grounds staff lined up a row of new trees yesterday before planting them along the recently completed pedestrian mall In front of East Hall. LANSING (AP) - While Michigan voters may have shut out animal-rights activists trying to limit hunting prac- tices in the state, Detroit residents voted to allow three casinos downtown and the construction of a new stadium. Tuesday's elections saw the failure of Proposal D, which would have outlawed the use of bait and dogs in hunting bear. A victorious sportsman said the elec- tion returns may discourage efforts to limit hunting in the near future. "I've got to believe the animal rights people will see Michigan as unfriendly territory," said Rick Jameson, executive director of the Michigan United Conservation Club. "This is the worst licking they got." Though Michigan voters rejected Proposal D, they approved Proposal G, which gives the state Natural Resources Commission the sole authority to set hunting rules. With 98 percent of the vote counted, "D" was opposed by 62 percent and supported by 38 percent. "G" had sup- port from 69 percent and was opposed by 31 percent. While sportsmen celebrated victory, sports fans prepared to move down- town. Proposition S passed, speeding HOUSE Continued from Page 1A dren. A Democratic House may also consider re-establishing the Clean Air and Water Commission that Engler dis- banded, she said. LSA sophomore Erin Carey, External Relations Committee chair for the Michigan Student Assembly, said having more Democrats in Lansing will be helpful for student lobbyists. "It probably won't change how we approach it too much but it could make our job significantly easier, Carey said. Assembly members regularly lobby legislators for increased higher- education funding. - The Associated Press contributed to this report. up the groundbreaking date of a down- town stadium for the Detroit Lions. The proposal called for excise taxes of 1 percent on hotel rooms for stays less than 30 days and 2 percent on car rentals, and is expected to raise $80 million over 30 years for the $225 mil- lion stadium. The Lions' domed stadium would sit next to a new, open-air Tiger Stadium in a $485 million sports complex. "We think the payoff for the people of Detroit and southeast Michigan is going to be tremendous" said Anthony Neely, spokesperson for Mayor Dennis Archer. When the Lions do move downtown, people will be able to bet on them with- in city limits, thanks to the passage of Proposition E. The proposal allows up to three casi- nos in the city. With 98 percent of the state's precincts reporting, Proposal E got "yes" votes from 52 percent and "no" votes from 48 percent. Supporters, including Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer, say Detroit casinos would create thousands of jobs and pump $1.2 million daily into the city economy. But casino opponents said they object to the atmosphere that often sur- rounds casinos. "If they want to have casinos, heroin and drugs, fine. That's not my idea of the rebirth of a city for the 21st century," said former U.S. Rep. Carl Pursell. "It sounds like another Las Vegas to me." On the other three proposals on the statewide ballot: In a partisan fight, Democrats dealt a setback to Republican plans a forbid the use of bingo games to raise political money. Democrats mustered the votes to defeat a Republican law - passed by the Legislature but placed on the ballot by Democrats - to outlaw bingo games as political fund-raisers: A person wanting to be eleeted judge will need five years' experience. on the other side of the bench before running under a Michigan ballot pro' posal that won lopsided approval. In an issue near to the hearts of Michigan veterans, voters approved Proposal C to make it harder to use the Michigan Veterans' Trust Fund for expenses other than programs for veter- ans. The proposal puts the trust fund in the Michigan Constitution, in an attempt to keep its funds safe from raids for other purposes. SEARCH Continued from Page IA bers' Harrison said last week.
