{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Governor Steve Beshear said Wednesday he has reached an agreement with state Senator Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, on the wording of a proposed constitutional amendment that would support casino-style gambling as a means to generate revenue for Kentucky's thoroughbred industry. Thayer, who supports casino-style gambling, says he will sponsor the measure in the Republican-controlled Senate. Beshear says he hopes senators will give the bill the full consideration it deserves. He says repeated polls show Kentuckians are demanding an opportunity to vote on the issue.
