Westrom Upping The Ante

Rep. Susan Westrom (D-Lexington) filed an amendment to the Gambling Our Way to Prosperity Bill that would add another three casinos to the already requested eight.

In her amendment, she includes the wish list of government spending increases to go along with the anticipated revenue from all the losing gamblers. No mention of how to pay for the exorbitant social costs associated with the gambling losses.
