Not even one week after Kentucky House Speaker Greg Stumbo introduced the latest attempt to bring slots to horse tracks, an effort to defeat the bill is already underway.
An advocacy group, "say no to casinos," is highlighting what it calls the negative impacts of house bill 158, which would create so called "racinos."
"Say no to casinos" also has an issue with the fact that under this bill there would not be a voter referendum to approve the video gambling terminals.
Stumbo wants to bring video lottery terminals to horse tracks, he says, to give low and middle income people a tax break.

Why is gambling such an issue. All the money we could be making is going right across the river to IN. Can we please quit letting churches and their followers decide what is best for our state, they obviously don't know very much about making money since they are always begging others to donate to them. Let the people in our State gamble!!!!!!!

What is the problem? People are still driving over to Indiana to gamble why not lure some of those people here? If you want participate fine, if not fine to but do not knock down an idea that may help.
