This yes vote is shocking to me. I have been defending the rumor that he Ted voted yes. I’m shocked to see that I have been defending a guilty man. Know I have to go apologize for believing that he couldn’t have voted for something I felt he strongly opposed

Teddy Edmonds gets on that Christian TV station in Eastern Kentucky and helps them raise money, masquerading as a good Christian man. How will he explain his “yes” vote to his anti-gambling constituency?

I would think there exist a better way to raise funds than by having to allocate over 65% of the cost for administration cost.

We can do better than that, but again, it is not at the gambling table.

Gambling is the number one mental health issue in the United States. THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE.

And, Mr. Adkins, would you please publish, on line, the place where you got your demographics on OUT OF STATE, ETC, ETC.
I believe that is a KEEP number, if not mistaken, Maybe you have the KEEP survey on gambling.

“The first full fiscal year of lottery sales (1990) saw a total of $197.7 million in tickets sold. Slow and steady growth over nearly each of the past 18 years helped the KLC realize $742 million in sales last year, a 275% increase…Of the $10 billion in sales, more than $2.6 billion has been returned to the Commonwealth. Most of the revenue – $1.4 billion – went to the state’s General Fund. A great majority of revenue in the General Fund is spent on education in Kentucky.”

Yes, David Jackson, the lottery did much to help the state — and it certainly isn’t going to Indiana or other states where there is gambling. The fantasy is yours, Mr. Jackson, particularly if you come at this from a primitive religious angle.

In response to Mr. Bill Adkins. I believe the fantasy land is yours. Did the lottery do anything to help out the state? (Other than the few who continue to line their pockets). You are a typical Democrat who believes that everyone should pay your way. Wake up, Mr. Adkins, before it’s too late. Stop living in the fantasy that the way to finance government is at someone else’s loss. Let’s create some real jobs. May God have mercy on your soul.

The new school in Lancaster will be called Howdie Doodie High and all with a C average will get free tuition to EKU. At least that’s what Harry Moberly promised Lonnie.

Lay off Lonnie Napier. He thought he was voting for sluts in trucks and who could be against that.

What about Rep. Steven Rudy…he’s not listed on here, yet 52+45+3 abstaining equals 100…what gives?

Good vote Royce ADAMS!! But then there’re the Republicans and their fantasy land. Again David Williams and the Republicans prove to be the problem and no part of the solution. We have a budget shortfall, no new revenue, services are deteriorating or disappearing, police are being laid off and few patrols, the Kentucky State Police are using 1 officer to patrol three counties — and slots and gambling offer a solution and will stop the drain of Kentucky dollars to Indiana and Illinois.

David Williams may not lose in Burkesville, but I certainly will work with so many others to defeat the Republican Idiocracy he advocates and hope he’s in the minority soon.

Looks like Republicans made the difference. Way to go Lonnie, your brother appreciates it.
