House Speaker Greg Stumbo on expanding lottery options, instant racing

House Bill 416: House democrats propose to create a funding stream to deal with the $30 billion unfunded liability in the public employee pension systems. The bill's sponsor, House Speaker Greg Stumbo, plan expands lottery options to include games like Keno and instant racing. The Speaker ditched the well-publicized idea of applying the 6-percent sales tax to lottery tickets after conversations with Kentucky Lottery officials determined that move would harm game sales.
