POLL OVERVIEW<br />
---------------------<br />
Lansing Mayor Verg Bernero is proposing that a new casino be build in downtown Lansing near the Lansing Center.<br />
<br />
He says the new&nbsp; $245 million American Indian casino in downtown Lansing could create about 2,200 jobs and help fund scholarships for area students.<br />
<br />
Bernero says it would improve the viability of the convention center and fund four-year college scholarships for Lansing School District students under what's being called the &quot;Lansing Promise.&quot;<br />
<br />
The casino would be built on land that is currently owned by the city. That land would need to be sold to the tribe for the casino to operate. Under the plans, a smaller, temporary casino would open first.<br />
<br />
Michigan has more than two dozen casinos, including three in Detroit. <br />
