PHILADELPHIA AP – Delaware’s governor is looking at ways his state can preserve its plan to balance the books by offering sports wagering now that a court has ruled its proposal violates a 1992 federal ban on such bets.
Before Monday’s unanimous decision by a federal appeals court, Delaware had planned to start taking bets next month. Attorneys who argued the case for the state appeared stunned, and Gov. Jack Markell said his administration is reviewing its legal options and planning to still offer limited wagering.
