ST. PAUL — Minnesota regulators may have been outplayed when they bet a decades-old federal law would lend itself to an online gambling crackdown.
Following a lawsuit by the gambling industry, which considers the push a violation of federal commerce and free-speech protections, state officials said Monday they'll withdraw a demand that Internet service providers block access to hundreds of sites.
