Let Kentucky Vote! mystery solved
The mystery of who set up a Let Kentucky Vote! web site has been resolved.
Not surprisingly, it is affiliated with those pushing for expanded gambling, including the Kentucky Equine Education Project and several chambers of commerce around the state.
According to a news release, the group is a coalition made up of KEEP, Greater Louisville Inc., Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce, Jefferson County Teachers' Association, Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 227, and United Food and Commercial Workers IN-KY Council.
The website, www.letkyvote.com, is chock-full of talking points on dollars Kentuckians already wager, casino research, taxes and jobs in other states, and a link to send your legislator a message.
According to the site, the group is "a Kentucky based non-profit organization."
Patrick Neely, executive director of KEEP, said the coalition plans mailings and e-mailings across the state to lobby for Gov. Steve Beshear's casino gambling legislation.

Thanks Mr. Stivers. The truth will always come out and you have been a great facilitator, in addition to being a great adversary to the falsehoods. Keep up the good work.
