San Jose's budget is in the red, the City Council voted Tuesday to put a measure on its June ballot that would now allow the expansion of gambling at the city's card clubs, along with higher card-room taxes, this could generate $5 million a year. of needed money.

This 6-5 vote was a reversal from two years ago, when the council rejected a similar ballot measure calling for a slightly higher card room tax.

Council members had concerns about closing a budget gap that has stretched to $116.2 million and may force hundreds of layoffs.
