Governor Sam Brownback rejected House Bill 2313 and said the measure would negatively affect the state.
“The Kansas Lottery has a disproportionately negative effect on low-income Kansans. Rather than investing limited resources in games of chance, our goal is to help low income Kansans find a path to self-reliance and independence through education, work, and savings, ” said Brownback.
The veto’s relevance extends beyond those interested in playing lottery and bingo games of chance. Under the bill, new revenue from automated vending sales of lottery tickets would have provided $4 million this year and as much as $8 million annually in the future to community mental health centers in Kansas.
