Because this state embarrassed itself in Frankfort yesterday. That’s why. Because a select few out-of-touch legislators, who can’t give one good reason for why they’re opposed to sports gambling, are given enough power from their small communities to override what an overwhelming majority of Kentuckians support and want. Because those legislators think they should have complete moral control over you and me, and because they have no interest in moving this state forward with a slam dunk that would bring in MILLIONS of dollars.
Sports betting isn’t some hot-button, controversial issue that is dividing a Commonwealth.
