Hard to predict how the people will vote on allowing casino gambling, actually (if they can pass through the constitutional amendment to allow a public referendum). I don't think it's an overwhelming yes, but who knows?
The state will be mired in partisan politics for the next four years, so we'll have to see if anything gets done about .... anything.
The first thing Beshear should try and accomplish is removing the tax on horse feed (which cattle, swine, etc. producers do not pay)

I know some horses that should be considered swine.
The polls have consistently shown that the casino/expanded gaming referendum will pass by somewhere close to a 60/40 measure. The issue is a rat of a Senator named Williams that seemingly wants to get paid in pork and probably cash for his blessing. Despite his frequent trips to over the border casinos he is staunchly against KY adding them. Think he gets comped in Cesaers Indiana?
Whether or not you agree that Casinos or expanded gambling is good or bad for horse racing or the state of KY it is hard to argue that the people shouldn't have a chance to let their voice be heard.
