I think it is safe to say that Kentucky is much closer today to having slots at the racetracks then it was yesterday, but they still have a long, long way to go before seeing a quarter machine at Churchill Downs.

Ought to be interesting to see how this plays out...

I read that he supports a referendum to let the people decide if they want additional gambling. He won't push the legislation through himself and it will be a fight just to get the senate/house to get this to that point at all. Any Kentuckians have additional/more accurate info?
