Minneola mayor to push for poker vote tonight

March 17, 2009, Scott  

David Yeager, mayor of Minneola, says tonight he'll push the city council to take the first step toward allowing a parimutuel facility with a poker room and a hotel to be built in the city near Orlando, the <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/community/news/clermont/orl-lklminneola17031709mar17,0,4000214.story">Orlando Sentinel</a> reports.

If the council approves Yeager's resolution, it would then move to the Lake County Commission, which would have to authorize a countywide vote.
