SOUTH SIOUX CITY, Neb. (AP) — Gov. Pete Ricketts renewed his objections to expanded gambling in Nebraska during a speech in South Sioux City, where a Native American tribe plans to open a gambling center at a shuttered dog track.

Ricketts said on Friday that a proposed ballot measure to legalize casinos in his state is a bad idea that would cost the state in social services to address abuse and embezzlement.

Ho-Chunk Inc., the economic development arm of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, plans to build a short horse track, sports bar and simulcast wagering center at the site of the former Atokad Downs.

Ho-Chunk development director Alexcia Boggs said last month that the track will be built regardless of what happens with the casino ballot issue.
