URBANA – Mayor Laurel Prussing on Monday night presented a plan to find the “middle ground” in response to a statewide bill that mandates video gambling as a way to pay for part of the state's $31 billion capital bill.

The bill offered what Prussing called an “either-or” option, which allows municipalities to either ban video gambling or require that businesses with the gambling stations to buy new machines and tie into a statewide system.

“I thought that was too rigid,” Prussing said.
