Indiana officials are trying to push forward stalled plans for a Terre Haute casino.
They're giving Churchill Downs, the company that runs the Kentucky Derby, a gaming license for the project despite a new lawsuit that threatens to further delay construction.
Indiana Gaming Commission members on Tuesday approved giving the license to Churchill Downs for its planned $240 million casino and 10-story hotel.
But Full House Resorts, a company that was passed over in the bidding process, claims in a lawsuit that the commission wrongly considered suggestions from Churchill Downs that it would look at sites other than the one included in its application.
