Ky. Senators Considering Expanded Gambling
Two key Kentucky Senate Republicans, Damon Thayer of Georgetown and Senate President David Williams, have announced they will file proposals regarding expanded gambling in the state. Thayer proposes allowing the public to decide whether video lottery terminals should be allowed at horse racetracks, while Williams' plan would ban expansions without a constitutional amendment, which requires public opinion. Democrats and horse industry leaders say a constitutional amendment could not be enacted in time to help the struggling industry.
