Final decision on casinos expected this afternoon

Gov. Steve Beshear will meet with Democratic House leaders at 3 p.m. in his office Thursday to make a final decision about the future of a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow casino gambling in Kentucky.

"I would think we'll know exactly where we are at that point and either proceed based upon information that says we'll get the votes ... or call a halt to it," Beshear told the Herald-Leader.

Beshear and House Speaker Jody Richards have struggled for weeks to find the required 60 votes to pass House Bill 550 out of the House.

Good call! Good call!

From what I can tell, the people I have been able to talk with or exchange with, REQUIEM is the proper interpretation.

I assume this last push is to re-enforce FUTURE DONORS that the Governor did all he could do. And, please don't forget me, when I run for re-election.

Maybe, some MIRACLE IN KENTUCKY is about to occur?

And that is what, at this point, prior to the POW WOW . . . I would give the benefit of the doubt you never know, but . . .

I would say right now they are in the bottom of the 9th and there are two outs.

Where is the HEAVY HITTER.

That's about it!
