MURRAY, KY
(wkms) -
A Senate committee may vote today on a proposal to legalize casinos in Kentucky. The Senate State and Local Government Committee has the issue on its agenda for a noon meeting and Governor Steve Beshear's office says he will testify. Beshear has been pressing lawmakers for a constitutional amendment which would allow Kentuckians to wager on more than horse races. If lawmakers approve, the proposal will be placed on the November ballot for voters to ratify or reject. Wednesday's vote would be the first on the issue since lawmakers convened in early January. Should the bill pass committee it head to the full Senate and House.
