Board quiet on video lottery for Underground

He has a plan he says can bring in hundreds of millions of dollars to keep the state’s HOPE scholarship program in the black, improve the city of Atlanta’s ailing finances and return Underground Atlanta to its glory days as an entertainment mecca in downtown Atlanta.
