和歌山に大阪カジノ

国会でIR（統合型リゾート）法案が成立し、日本でのカジノ開設が近づいてきた。当面設置が認められるのは3か所だけに、自治体による誘致合戦が激化している。地元にカジノを──国会閉会中の政治家たちの関心はもっぱらこれだが、政権の二大キーマン、菅義偉・官房長官と二階俊博・幹事長の間に不穏な空気が漂っている。

Such as starting "IR invitation promotion project team" of the whole agency crossing unity in July, one Wakayama is also fight enough, but when ordinarily thinking, 2 points of Kansai is at a disadvantage. When making it Wakayama, so it's the situation that I have no choice but to depend on a local second floor secretary-general." (stay in Osaka reporter)

The Mr. two floors say that this is being talked about in the neighborhood recently.

"In a casino, "Tokyo Disneyland system". Tokyo is being called itself, but Disneyland is in Chiba actually. Even if it's done in Wakayama actually by the name as the Osaka casino, so it
