On February 13, 2013 Dauphin County Commissioners voted to approve more than eight million dollars in Local Share Gaming Grants for the calender year 2012-2013. As we approach the 2013-2014 grant season we decided to take a look back at the application process overseen by three Dauphin county commissioners, George Hartwick, Mike Pries, and Chairman of the Board Jeff Haste.

This first series of videos is from the November 2012 Gaming Advisory Board meeting in which applicants presented grant requests to the four seated board members, county employees, a paid consultant to the board, and board solicitor Mark Stewart.
