In Kentucky, we have the lottery and wagering at race tracks, and now many in the Commonwealth would like to join the growing number of states around the country who have legalized sports betting. No more bookies to get a bet down on the Cats or the Cards. But some think idea is unconstitutional, others oppose it on moral grounds.
On this edition of the Sports Buzz Podcast, Dave Baker sits down with Rep. Adam Koenig, a Republican from the 69th District in Northern Kentucky, and the primary sponsor of House Bill 137 that, if passed, would need just a vote in the Kentucky Senate to legalize sports betting in the state.
Dave talks with Rep. Koenig about the bill, where the proceeds would go, the objections and chances of passage on this Sports Buzz Podcast.
