Economy and Business Wednesday, August 25, 2010 Ohio gambling commission gets a lot of interest in NE Ohio Cuyahoga commissioner calls it an exciting opportunity to hold industry accountable by WKSU's M.L. SCHULTZE |

 | | Cuyahoga Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones wants one of seven slots on state casino commission | The Northeast candidates for the state's new gambling commission include a Cuyahoga County Commissioner, the county's new Democratic Party chairman, a clinical therapist, a police union official and a half dozen other lawyers and investment specialists. WKSU's M.L. Schultze has more on the people who want to keep their eye on the nascent gambling industry in Ohio...

The seven-member Ohio Casino Control Commission will oversee what's expected to be a multi-billion dollar industry springing up through Ohio's four new casinos. As of now, 47 people have put in for slots on the board, including 13 from Northeast Ohio. Cuyahoga County Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones is among them. He calls it an exciting opportunity to hold the gambling industry accountable to its promises of economic growth.
Lawson Jones will lose his job as county commissioner in January, when Cuayoga County goes to a new form of government. The governor is expected to pick the seven members of the board in September. They have to be confirmed by the state senate. The law says four of the seven members must be from the counties hosting the casinos: Cuyahoga, Lucas, Franklin and Hamilton.
