La Junta Expands Enforcement Authority over ‘Illegal Gambling’ - Bent County Democrat

La Junta officials unanimously approved four ordinances Tuesday, Feb. 17, during their city council regular meeting, which would expand the city’s authority to regulate and shut down commercial properties with “illegal gambling devices,” as well as expedite prosecutions with expanded enforcement mechanisms set to operate in municipal court, rather than relying on state criminal prosecution.
