Stumbo Says Slots Could Help Schools
In an effort to persuade lawmakers to support his racetrack slots bill, House Speaker Greg Stumbo has upped the amount of revenue he wants to spend on new buildings and equipment for public schools. Stumbo says $1.34 billion in slots revenue could be used for school projects which would include a $130 million science research center for the University of Kentucky. He says it's not vote buying, but adding schools could bring the 51 House votes needed to pass the slots bill.
