Gambling Bill Expected Soon

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Governor Steve Beshear said Wednesday he is expecting a proposal to amend the state Constitution to allow casino-style gambling to be filed soon. Beshear said time remains in this year's legislative session for the House and Senate to vote to get a proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot this fall. Lawmakers are just more than one-third of the way through the session that's slated to end in April. So far, legislative and congressional redistricting has occupied most of their time, and both issues remain the hot topic in Frankfort.
