AG says no amendment needed for slots

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.”

    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.
