If Gov. Beshear would try to influence the US legislators to continue using coal as one of Kentucky’s top resources, the coal severance tax would help reduce the budgeting problems and help the horse industry that, for some reason, according to the Governor, only gambling will help to solve. If the demand for coal would go back up, unemployment in several industries would be alleviated and the money would begin to circulate more (more coal produced = more severance tax paid to state). Also, the good old fashioned light bulb, made right here in Kentucky, should be promoted as better for our environment than the new “twisted” bulb, which by the way contains MERCURY! Not good for the environment. Tell me, who will dispose of the new bulb the way the EPA wants us to? Tell me where one of the proper disposal facilities is located. Most people will just drop it in the garbage can where it and the mercury will end up in the landfills and eventually in our water supplies. Not to mention the dangers of it breaking in the trash inside the house. We MUST promote all industries of our state and help our WHOLE state succeed. “Divided we fall…”

One more point I want to make. Standardbred racing is dead in Kentucky. Years ago I went to a standardbred track in Louisville only to learn it was bought out by Churchill Downs and was converted to a simulcasting facility. Last year, I went to the Red Mile in Lexington. I thought I was in a ghost town. It looks obvious to me that harness racing is gone forever in Kentucky. I hate to see the same happen to the rest of the horse industry in Kentucky.

Americancasinoguide.com has a list of states with casinos. Here are a few close by. Indiana has 11, West Virginia 4, Illinois 9, Florida 20, Louisiana, 20, Missisippi 30, Georgia 2, South Carolina 2. This list is growing every year. I support Steve Beshear. Kentucky horse industry deserves support! The competition is rising. Kentucky must be allowed to compete.

This is great news!!! There is no difference between slots, gambling, race tracks and lottery tickets. We let people drink. We let people smoke. We people eat McDonalds everyday. Freedom of choice, unless the religious right is going to infringe on this too!!!
