Approximately 10 workers suffered injuries yesterday when a partial cave-in occurred<\/a> during construction of Horseshoe Cincinnati<\/strong>.

John Kasich<\/strong> (R) basically held their licenses up for ransom last year. For the moment, the finger of blame is pointing<\/a> in the direction of majority owner Rock Gaming<\/strong>, which hired the contractors for Horseshoe Cincy.
