Gambling Bill Put on Hold
Well I spoke too soon about the debate this week that was supposed to occur on the Bingo for Medicaid legislation. It appears that the supporters of the legislation are short of the 63 votes needed in the House for a constitutional amendment to pass. I am sure there will be another stab at getting this to a vote some time this session but you never know when that might happen.
Screw bingo, let’s get Vegas-style casinos in here. That’s where the big money is. How many folks’ tourism dollars are we going to lure from other states offering only bingo.
Texas holdem poker is the biggest game on the planet and we’re hoping to pass a kid’s game for big time entertainment? What’s next, electronic Cootie???
