I have lived in “dry” counties and wet. The dry ones have more meth labs, pot, and so on, and less for kids to do – and always more broken windows and troubles. The extreme example of banning things is the middle east – there they have nothing left but to do except blow people up. Go ahead and try to restrict more things and send tax dollars to Indiana, take the horses to Florida, etc… Slots are fine, and probably a very good thing overall. (However, we have enough school buildings. That is just something for construction lobbyists – not our kids needs and their education. We spend more on the school buildings and bureaucracy than the kids’ education.)

Never ban things that are individual choices that affect mainly that particular individual. You can’t baby everyone and have a law to protect people against everything. If so, then why don’t we just get a new law that prevents businesses from failing, by preventing them from starting – Oh yeah, Obama is working on that one (and we’re currently helping him along with the idea, by spending too much for lobbyists’ wish lists, and killing one of our top state industries.)

Roger,
Have you even been to a race track? I have and it seems to me that a very large majority of the people there are well off enough to be able to spend some of their own hard earned money in a way that they choose. Funny, I don’t see churches refusing to take donations from poor people and now all of a sudden they are worried about them? More likely they are only concerned about their own attendence and bank accounts then people’s well-being.
Also, people in Ky voted for a state lottery, which is completley seperate from any other form of gambling. Again, the churches love to have their Bingo, but they don’t want any competition do they?
The tired old “it’s bad for poor people” song and dance is getting worn out. The same illogical argument can be made for fast food, cell phones, sodas, etc, etc, etc.
How about the churches get out of the Spanish Inquisition attitude and allow people to choose to be part of their commune instead of wanting to force everyone to be a part of it?

I can’t seem to find this so can some explain what “exactly” the State Constitution say’s about the issue? It would be very informative if the Herald Leader would publish the part of the state constitution that deals with this instead of the People having to rely on what some politician say’s what their opinion is.

It has been said in the HL and News reports on TV many times that the constitution is very specific on the matter. however, I have looked and I have yet to find any part of the State Constitution dealing with gaming short of the Lottery.

Kentucky’s Constitution has been added to and revised about a million times. so What does it say?

What is the Family Foundation trying to force? A vote to amend the KY Constitution? A vote that is legally necessary? Wow, what’s wrong with that??

The Dems, and the Horse Industry are the ones who are trying to force this TAX upon the citizens of the Commonwealth. In Indiana they had to wager 470 million to generate 97 million in tax revenue. Just think where that 470 million came from, and the better return that could be had invested elsewhere.
