The amendment would double that distance.<\/p>\n<p>The new proposal would allow the casinos anywhere in the state. Previously, the casinos also would not be allowed within five miles of a city of more than 5,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>If approved by the Legislature, voters could decide the issue in the June 2018 primary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BISMARCK, N.D.
