IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SANTA FE BUSINESSMAN GERALD PETERS WILL BE GETTING INTO THE GAMBLING BUSINESS ANYTIME SOON. THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN REPORTS THAT A LAWYER FOR PETERS SAYS PLANS FOR A CASINO IN SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO ARE NOW "DORMANT."
PETERS AND JEMEZ PUEBLO FILED AN APPLICATION LAST YEAR TO BUILD A 55 MILLION DOLLAR CASINO AND HOTEL IN ANTHONY, NEW MEXICO…BETWEEN LAS CRUCES AND EL PASO.
ALTHOUGH SHE HASN'T TAKEN A POSITION ON THE CASINO PLAN, GOVERNOR MARTINEZ HAS INDICATED IN THE PAST THAT SHE'S LESS THAN ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE IDEA.
