KSBA wants voters to decide future of gaming
By Megan BuergerKentucky's largest organization of elected officials – the Kentucky School Boards Association – voted 71 percent in favor of placing a constitutional amendment on expanding gaming on the November ballot.
"I want to be very clear about this vote," said KSBA President Ed Massey, "The mere fact that 71 percent voted in favor does not mean that KSBA is endorsing expanded gaming."
"In a democracy, you let the people decide. And if the people decide against expanded gaming, then the General Assembly should move on." said Massey.
