Tuesday evening 50 people arrived at the public hearing on video gaming, hosted by the Lincoln City Council. Of the 50, 17 addressed the council, expressing their stand on the video gaming issue. In the end those who want the video gaming banned from the city of Lincoln nearly doubled those who did not, as the poll went 11-6 against the new form of legalized gambling. Of the 17 who spoke, only one represented interests outside Logan County.
