At a meeting on Friday of the Florida House Business and Consumer Affairs Subcommittee, Rep. Erik Fresen, R-Miami, moved to temporarily postpone his bill to expand casino gambling in the Sunshine State -- killing the legislation for the session.

Casino bill is dying, posted Rep. Michael Bileca, R-West Miami, on his Twitter account. Great news for our community. The process continues.

A moment later, Bileca added on Twitter, Bill officially dead.

Rep. Rachel Bugrin, R-Tampa, also added her thoughts via Twitter. Destination Casino legislation is now dead for the 2012 session, she posted.
