Slots pass KY House; Williams making Senate vote dubious

6:55 p.m. … One last speaker on the opposition side represents CAGE (Citizens Against Gambling Expansion). The spokesman, who goes by Nostradumbass, for the group said people will be sold into bondage to slot machines in order to support racetracks in Kentucky, that they will spend hundreds of millions of their own money, and money they steal from their employers and credit card companies.

Voting now, here it comes ...

This is making me crave a cig and I haven't smoked in 8 years.

"This is a tough vote," says Sen. Kerr of Lexington. "I too feel that we have proposals on the table that could help the horse industry without damaging our most vulnerable decisions." Her vote will be a "no."

I am moving into Kerr's district just to make sure this moron - from LEXINGTON - doesn't ever get re-elected.

What a bunch of pansies.

If all the democrats vote yes then they need 1 more republican...

Edit: Two more republican votes needed if the Independent and all dems vote yes.

A&R Committee - According to Paulick, the final vote count:

Charlie Borders - R, Chairman - NO
Robert (Bob) Leeper - I, Vice Chairman - NO
David Boswell - D - YES
Tom Buford - R - YES
Denise Harper Angel - D - YES (Churchill District, father retired trainer)
Ernie Harris - R - NO
Dan Kelly - R - NO
Alice Forgy Kerr - R - NO (Lexington)
Vernie McGaha - R - NO
RJ Palmer - D - Abstain
Joey Pendleton - D - YES
Tim Shaughnessy - D - YES
Brandon Smith - R - NO
Robert Stivers - R - NO
Gary Tapp - R - NO
Elizabeth Tori - R - NO
Jack Westwood - R (Westwood is traveling out of the country and will not be present to vote) - Absent

So they need 9 votes? S.hit.

It's done.

I will take the nuts from the far left any day over the religious right.

Sorry to offend but this is typical religious right ****

I think this is more typical of self serving politicians who care nothing of what is best for their state. New York, Kentucky they are everywhere
