Who’s behind new bid to legalize sports betting in California?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:09:43 GMT

California voters last year dealt a crushing bust to a pair of competing ballot initiatives to legalize sports wagering, but the Golden State is too big of a prize for gaming interests to just fold and walk away. Now, a mystery player has anted up for another round at the ballot box.Proponents have filed with the state Attorney General’s Office to launch a pair of proposed measures for the November 2024 ballot that would allow on-site and online sports betting in the Golden State through the state’s recognized Indian tribes. But California’s gaming tribes aren’t on board, and it’s unclear who’s bankrolling the effort.“That seems to be the million dollar question — who are these people?” said Robert Linnehan, regulatory writer and editor at XLMedia, which specializes in online gambling and sports betting. “Why did they take it upon themselves to submit two ballot measures on behalf of the tribes who say they want nothing to ...

Former A’s executive asks MLB owners to reject Las Vegas move

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:09:43 GMT

Editor’s Note: Major League Baseball owners are scheduled to meet Nov. 14-16 in Nashville, during which time they are expected to vote on the A’s proposed move to Las Vegas. Andy Dolich, whose five-decade career as a pro sports executive spanned the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB, including a 15-year run with the A’s, sent this letter to 29 major league owners. (A’s owner John Fisher was not included; nor was MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred.) For the A’s to move, 75% of the owners must vote their approval.It is my understanding that MLB team owners are moving closer to voting on the A’s relocation from Oakland to Las Vegas.From 1980-1994 I was the VP of Business Operations under the Haas family ownership when the Oakland A’s were winning games, filling seats and exemplifying the very best of teamwork, leadership and trust throughout the Northern California market.Relocating this franchise to Las Vegas would be a major mistake for Major League Baseball a...

Apple has plans to eventually, maybe revolutionize health care

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:09:43 GMT

By Mark Gurman and Drake Bennett | BloombergIn 2011, a startup called Avolonte Health set up shop in a small office park in Palo Alto, California. The company operated out of a bland, two-story building bristling with security cameras. Engineers interviewing for jobs there weren’t even told what they’d be working on. Once new hires made their way into the lab, however, they learned that they would be trying to revolutionize diabetes care.Avolonte wasn’t just any health-care company. It was a project of Apple Inc., and its mission came directly from Steve Jobs. Apple’s co-founder and then-chief executive officer, ill with the pancreatic cancer that would take his life near the end of that year, had tasked a group of his key executives to develop a noninvasive blood sugar monitor. It would be a potentially life-changing technology for diabetics, who would no longer need to prick themselves to monitor their blood glucose. Medical device makers had tried for years to develop something l...

How metal band Slaughter hit the jackpot by playing casinos

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:09:43 GMT

Mark Slaughter, the lead singer of the hair metal band Slaughter, grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada where some of the music industry’s most iconic acts, such as Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, elevated their stardom by contributing to a budding casino entertainment industry.As a Vegas local, Slaughter saw a different side of the city that was rapidly changing, but never really saw himself performing at casinos in his hometown and beyond.“It was green acres of lights when I was a kid, and it certainly has exploded into the big city Las Vegas is now,” Slaughter said in a recent phone interview. “When I grew up there, everybody knew everybody, and it was a small little town. I never would have imagined that we would be able to play casinos. We’ve played several places out there, including the Golden Nugget, which is the Sinatra room, and it’s kind of cool because that’s where he used to do his show every night. You realize the size of the showroom and what people were seeing, and you get a...

Walters: California GOP delegation vulnerable after McCarthy’s ouster

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:09:43 GMT

When a handful of uber-right Republicans forced Speaker Kevin McCarthy out, they may have doomed GOP chances of retaining marginal seats in California and thus control of the House.McCarthy, whose district is centered in Bakersfield, made winning seats in his native state a high priority, recruiting candidates and supplying them with whatever money they needed. It paid off last year when Republicans won back four of the seven California districts they had lost during the 2020 presidential election and, by some analyses, provided McCarthy with the narrow margin he needed to become speaker.The current count is 221 Republicans and 212 Democrats with two vacancies, so it wouldn’t take much for the latter to regain the majority they had held for many years prior to 2022.The GOP victory forced long-serving Speaker Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco to cede the gavel to McCarthy, her arch-rival from 250 miles to the southeast. However its narrowness compelled McCarthy to make concessions to the...
