Disney and Seminole Tribe join hands in a campaign to limit gambling

Disney and The Seminole Tribe of Florida have jointly pumped in $10 million ($ 5 million each) to Voters in Charge movement.

Voters in Charge movement is publishing ads to persuade people to vote yes on Amendment 3, which seeks to limit future casino gambling.

The proposed amendment says that only voters can approve new casinos in the future. Sixty per cent of voters would have to say yes in order for it to pass.

State legislators have considered casino gambling proposals in recent years. Disney has opposed efforts to expand gambling in the state. The Seminoles already operate several casinos in the state.

With the new round of funding, Disney has spent nearly $19.7 million to pass the amendment while the Seminoles have spent nearly $16.8 million.
