Beshear: 'Plenty of time' to Consider Expanded Gambling

WEKU

Published February 9, 2012 at 10:41 AM EST

Gov. Steve Beshear said Wednesday he will wait "a few more days" to unveil his long-anticipated constitutional amendment to expand gambling because of the uncertainty of legislative redistricting. Beshear said in December that he would present in the 2012 General Assembly a constitutional amendment to expand gambling. Wednesday is the 24th day of the 60-day session, which must end by April 15.
