Reaction to slots votes mixed By RONNIE ELLISCNHI News Service Monday night, Borders said, he received “call after call from people who said they just wanted to express their thanks for my vote.”
Another Republican Senator singled out by name at last week’s rally was Damon Thayer of Georgetown. His district includes Scott County which he said has more than 50 horse farms, but he said other parts of his district oppose slots. “The reaction has been mixed,” said Thayer. “Some are happy, some are angry and some are ambivalent.” Thayer said Beshear needs to make up his mind whether he wants to be bi-partisan or “the head of the Democratic Party and take out the state Senate.” Osborne and Neely both think slots at the tracks are overwhelmingly favored by the public but Osborne concedes there are geographic differences in the level of support. He said those who live on the northern border of the state are comfortable with gambling right across the river – they hear radio advertising for it and see billboards for casinos across the state line. Neely said KEEP isn’t actively recruiting candidates to oppose Republican Senators opposed to gambling – at least not now. But he said “several people have called our office saying they are interested in running for the House or Senate.” Ronnie Ellis writes for CNHI News Service and is based in Frankfort.
