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.
