![]() That's basically what he means.
Here's the direct quote: "...the slots bill, you know, you can stick a fork in it, it’s done.” http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.co...es-slots-bill/ This guy is an embarassment. ![]() |

![]() What the hell is wrong with these people! The top industry in KY, hundreds of thousands of jobs could be lost, will be lost and still they turn their backs! It's just amazing!

![]() Nothing is wrong with "these people."
Williams represents an area where the highlight of the decade is a Dollar General store with a grocery inside. In other words...he's representing morons. |

![]() Actually, when I read it I thought "These people" meant the Kentucky Senate.
Not to get far afield...I wonder how the majority of Kentuckians see this. Is it just the districts that these obstructionists represent that object to the slots, or is it truly the majority? By the way, without slots, that line in the song "Old Kentucky Home" is going to mean something entirely different for their horsemen: "My old Kentucky home far away..." -- because I moved bag and baggage out of the state. |

![]() He is everything that is bad with state politics. And the sheeple that are stuck up his rear are twice as bad.
His solution is the 'tax the lottery' plan...and that will be all that is acceptable to him. But in the end, won't the same suckers be forking over the dough for that?

![]() He also wants to "tax out of state winnings" on the horse races they do have.
Can you imagine looking at the results chart for the race and seeing: KY: WIN: 10.60 5.40 3.20 non-KY: WIN: 9.00 4.60 2.40 |

Its light years away from the Lexington-Louisville area where HR is KING. Williams has no interest in the bill because his district has no interest in the sport..the town is such a crap hole the Dairy Queen couldnt even stay in business. |

but it's not just the racing part of the product-how much business and industry is affected by the racing industry? what about farmers, vets, farriers, etc, etc? what about the tourism industry which includes hotels, restaurants, etc? what would a dramatic drop in outside income affect in the state? the tax revenue drop would be horrible to contemplate. take the entire population that would be affected by racing drastically being reduced or disappearing and tell me that the state wouldn't be dramatically altered. |

![]() Cannon Shell has got it. David Williams is a man of limited horizons and his major goal in the state house is to prove he is a big shot by doing what he is doing - stop a measure that the enemy (the Democrats) wants. He also is playing to the type of Baptist crowd that looks on gambling with abhorrence, which is still a large constituency out in the counties. This is not the first time Williams has pulled this sort of trick; I sort of wish he would get kicked upstairs to the House (where he would be great material for John Stewart and Stephen Colbert) and let the rest of the state government get on with governing.

![]() I love the antigambling Bible beating zealots in Kentucky. "Rep. Danny Ford, R-Mt. Vernon, said he was against it because it was bad for families and it’s unconstitutional." Yeah, OK. If they can't gamble at Churchill Downs or Turfway Park, they'll drive 20 minutes to Horseshoe or Argosy Indiana. The bill is about keeping gambling dollars in-state. Simple as that. I'm so sick of the pathetic attempts to tell us how to spend our money. If I don't gamble with it I'm not spending it on other sh1t, it'll sit in the bank doing nothing. Either take my money in state or I'll spend it in Indiana like I do now.

I just don't get this argument.I never will. I think slots can destroy folks lives. You guys wants slots because they will help racing not because slots are good for people lives. It prolongs consolidation and artificially keeps these slept tracks solvent. Mountainer purses are half of what they were because the folks just have less money to lose, soon they will be cut again and then the kill pens will be full of stock on the way to Mexico. I go to AC 3 times a week its a dungeon now. Soon there will be gambling everywhere and racing will be holding the bag with still too many tracks and to little racing stock. Will be back to square one. |

![]() I wonder how soon Williams will feel the heat on this. Will we have to wait for the election or will the local press start to beat him up?
