In the Kentucky General Assembly, no predictions of vote counts on controversial issues are safe until, well, the actual votes are counted. But the word I’ve been hearing on multiple occasions the last couple of days is that there are 52 “hard” House votes for Slots Bill. And if the vote comes Friday, as is expected, 56 yes votes are possible.

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.

I have a friend who has offered antipsychotics free to all legislators.
Hugoo,
A few of them might need multiple doses. And at least one would need a minimum of a quintuple dose.
