A number of labor unions which represent state troopers, firemen and other workers asked a state Senate panel yesterday to pass a bill legalizing slot machines at racetracks and new casinos in New Hampshire.



The unions followed the lead of the New Hampshire Police Association in support of expanded gambling.

The Senate Ways and Means Committee took testimony on two bills, Senate Bill 169 and SB 179. Under SB 169, the state would staff, manage and operate gambling at a privately owned casino through a new Gaming Authority. Under the new law, the state would oversee privately operated gambling at tracks and casinos through existing agencies and law enforcement.

Sen. Lou D'Allesandro (D-Manchester) said his proposal will bring in $110 million in licensing fees within a year, and will also provide construction jobs short-term and service jobs that last.

"We are in a competitive situation, but in my opinion New Hampshire does it better, more efficiently and more effectively," he said.
