Despite long odds at success, Fort Wayne officials want their two hired lobbying firms to push for a gambling referendum during the state legislature's special session.

Ozzie Mitson, Mayor Tom Henry's business and legislative liaison, confirmed the city still employs Krieg Devault and Taft Stettinius & Hollister - paying each $3,000 a month.
