This week the chairman of the committee, Representative Lee Terry, told local media there appeared to be no sense of urgency among his committee members to take immediate action on the for and against evidence presented to them by a selection of witnesses. “There’s really nothing on the agenda next for this,” said Terry after the hearing. “We are going to see how things are evolving in Nevada and New Jersey and other states.
“Is there really something that forces the feds to get into this right now?” Terry said. “I don’t think a case was really made. When it comes to setting parameters for Internet gambling, where issues of technology and privacy come into play, I don’t know how you can do that.”
Terry said that the committee would be keeping a close eye on developments as the issue continued to evolve.
