Seems like Robin Vos and the gang had a new gambling route all figured out--until someone blew the whistle. Plus: a very curious "supporter" of the bill!
Republican leaders on Wednesday, Nov. 19, pulled back a bill that would legalize online sports betting just hours before it was set to come up for a vote in the state Assembly.
The move came as top Republicans were getting criticized by some conservatives, including on talk radio, and as a right-leaning law firm signaled it would consider backing legal challenges to the bill if it became law.
Currently, gambling is illegal in Wisconsin. It is allowed in tribal casinos through federal law and the tribes' compacts with the state....
Who thinks Wisconsin citizens need a NEW way to gamble (so long as the Tribes get a piece of the action)??
... Introduced by Representatives August, Haywood, Dallman, Anderson, Behnke, Green, Gustafson, Kurtz, Mursau, Novak, Penterman, Prado, Sinicki, Stubbs, Wittke and Stroud;
cosponsored by Senators Marklein, Dassler-Alfheim, Feyen, Spreitzer and Testin...
Who else supports MO' GAMBLING?
The Milwaukee Brewers. Ain't that interesting?
P.S. Does gambling count in the "High Cost of Living" bitch-fest??
