BOPTROT felon pushing for Stumbo’s slots bill
A former Kentucky state lawmaker who went to prison for taking gambling-related bribes in the 1990s’ Operation BOPTROT scandal is working behind the scenes this winter for House Speaker Greg Stumbo’s slots bill.
Former Rep. Jerry Bronger, D-Louisville, met with Stumbo at the Capitol on Jan. 15 and discussed Stumbo’s bill to allow electronic slots machines at horse racetracks. Bronger said he strongly supports Stumbo’s bill and agreed to reach out to his old friends in the legislature and the racetrack industry to promote it.
