David Williams, R-Burkesville: "I'm not going to vote for a bill that will put the casino gaming issue on the ballot."
That really is the end of the story, except to point out how misleading the headline is. "Beshear has shot at casinos in Senate" does not an accurately assess the situation. Besides the "let the people decide" slogan could be more accurately stated "let the Las Vegas casino owners decide." Hardly a populist slogan worthy of a Kentucky governor.
A casino bill in the House would force Speaker Jody Richards to weigh in on the issue against Governor Beshear as well.
