Gambling Bill Delayed

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Governor Steve Beshear said Thursday that questions over legislative redistricting will delay his casino gambling bill. Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd is scheduled to hold a hearing Monday in a case challenging the legislative redistricting plans that passed the House and Senate and Beshear signed into law. In the suit filed by House Republicans and joined by a Senate Democrat, Shepherd issued an order earlier this week extending the filing deadline at least until Tuesday.
