Somewhere in the many blogs regarding the Poker Room, one person said they thought Mr. Thrasher was responsible for change in law to require only municipal approval (CH-849.086(16) FS).  Another person said it was someone in South Florida.  So, to set the record straight, here's what happened:

Chapter 849.086 titled "Cardrooms Authorized" was changed by Senate Bill 752 (which resulted from three committee substitutes), Senate Bill 134 (identical CS/H0223) and original bills by Senators Bullard and Geller.  The Senate and House passed these two bills on April 27th & 30th and both were allowed to become law on 6-13-07 without Gov. Crist signature.

After attending this workshop and observing councilmen lack of interest in what citizens were saying, I'm sorry to say "You wasted your time even going".  

Majority of those there speaking for it were employees who lived everywhere but in the town of Orange Park.  Too bad elected officials no longer represent their constituents.  If you really want to know what is going on, follow the money.
