Attorney General Jack Conway issued an opinion Monday morning that said the General Assembly has the authority to approve racetrack slots statutorily. Bottom line of the opinion:
“In sum, it is the opinion of the attorney general that the General Assembly may authorize the Kentucky Lottery Corporation to operate video lottery terminals at designated horse racing tracks under Ky. Const. (Section) 226(1) without further amendment to the Kentucky Constitution.”

Larry Dale Keeling, a columnist for the Lexington Herald-Leader, has spent most of his 35-plus years in journalism reporting on or writing editorials and columns about Kentucky’s politics and political issues. He now brings his experience and expertise on those topics to the KyKurmudgeon blog.
Who is the guy trying to kid? Himself? Does he really think we believe his horse hockey answers? Conway, don’t bother running because you’re nothing but a liar, and we here in Kentucky are sick of you and your ilk and the rubbish passing as legislators in Frankfort.
Just like you know whats, everybody’s got one. As cousin Gomer always used to say…Surprise Surprise Surprise.
