Providence, RI — Ahead of the Rhode Island House Finance Committee hearing on HB 7500 – aimed at closing the casino smoking loophole — Representative Tanzi, a lead bill sponsor, joined by casino workers, delivered a letter yesterday to State Treasurer James Diossa urging him to vote in favor of a shareholder proposal to study the potential cost savings through the implementation of a smokefree policy across Bally’s properties. The letter also pressed the treasurer to announce the state’s support ahead of the shareholder meeting on May 16, sending a clear message to other shareholders as they consider this crucial vote.
