Viewpoints: Gaming Amendment Will Benefit Our Community

Senator Gary Tapp (State Rep. of Spencer and Shelby) doesn't want to let, the gambling issue, come to a vote. Whether you are for or against, we should have a right to vote, "due process". We have a petition along with others in the area to let him know voters in his area do want the gambling issue to come to a vote "right or wrong".

As long as this comes to a vote, the horse community will have a chance to double the numbers, due to the BIF, along with this time: improve show facilities, have the money to create better trail systems and camp grounds, etc. You would think he would be in favor since his daughter still trains thoroughbreds.

If you get a chance, stop by and help us help the horse community out. If you know of others in our counties, Tapp's rep. counties, I can send you with petitions or ask them to come back. Trying to have completed by Wednesday of next week.

If you are not able to stop by, please sign the online petition. If you know others who will get behind us please ask for their signatures. All we want is a chance to vote! Hopefully by showing Mr. Tapp through numbers that people who voted him in do want an opportunity to voice their opinion, he will vote for letting the "gambling issue" come to a vote.

The next step in reclaiming Kentucky as the "Horse Capital of the World". We have already caused more economic growth than any other industry in the state over the last six months.
