According to an AP story:
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Gaming Commission has agreed not to award a final contract allowing Donald Trump's casino company to operate a casino in Orange County until the deal is reviewed by Gov.-elect Mitch Daniels, the Daniels team said yesterday.Note: More than a dozen earlier entries related to the Indiana-based Trump casinos may be located by typing the word "Trump" in the search box in the right column. Posted by Marcia Oddi at December 3, 2004 06:18 AMEllen Whitt, who will be Daniels' deputy chief of staff, said the transition team had requested that assurance in part because there were "serious unresolved issues about the solvency of the company" and other concerns.
But she also said it was part of a standard request that no major decisions beyond ordinary state government business be made until Daniels is sworn in on Jan. 10.
Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection on Nov. 22, but the commission said it expected the project to proceed as planned. The commission had previously awarded the Orange County license to Trump's company, but a final operating contract with the state is pending.
