Kentucky lawmakers say no to casino legalization
“I've always opposed gambling, for personal reasons. For me to support any kind of expanded gaming, it would have to be very, very limited and controlled circumstances. I’ve not seen any type of proposal that I could support,” said said Senate Minority Leader Ray Jones, D-Pikeville.
A report shared by Kentucky Today website showed that a group of local lawmakers refuses to support casino gambling as a revenue generator to bolster state finances.
“I haven't heard the word gambling spoken of since we voted down the Fantasy Football,” said Rep. Dan Bentley, , referring to ill-fated legislation that was quashed earlier this year. “I’m sure that I’m not privy to everything, because there are cliques and all, but I haven’t heard anything.”
The Fantasy Football proposal would have established a legal footing for paid-entry fantasy sports and regulation of companies offering them, like the biggest Daily Fantasy Sports operators, DraftKings and FanDuel.
