Kentucky enlarged gambling bill cancelled
June 24, 2009, 7:09 am (2 years ago)Governor Steve Beshear of Kentucky, who is the politician made an extraordinary effort to take control of the worldwide domain names of online gambling companies last year, has experienced an additional crush by the Kentucky Senate.
Beshear’s cautiously persuading legislative challenge to enlarge gambling at the state’s racetracks by includinf video gaming machines passed the House last week but was cancelled by the state Senate Appropriations Revenue Committee Monday in spite of appeals from the horse-racing business that it can’t compete with adjacent states that provide gambling.
State Senators voted 10-5 against the policy, with 2 members withdrawing, as said by the Lexington Herald-Leader.
