Expanded Gambling on Eastern Standard

Kentucky legislators have before them no fewer than three bills that would allow the state to bring the issue of expanded gambling before voters in the Commonwealth.

On this week’s Eastern Standard, we’ll discuss how  allowing would affect jobs, education, human services, health care, veterans bonuses, local governments and public safety.

Guests for this week's show: Jonathan Blue, Co-Chair, Kentucky Wins; Kent Ostrander, Executive Director, The Family Foundation of Kentucky
