Chances slim for gambling bill

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- The presiding officers of the House and Senate repeated their opinions today that there is little chance for passage of a bill to let Kentucky horse tracks open slot machine casinos.

The House Licensing and Occupations Committee earlier this week approved the bill, on what its sponsor said was a procedural matter. The committee is scheduled to take up the bill again on Monday.

Speaker Jody Richards, D-Bowling Green, said there seemed little likelihood the entire House will get a chance to vote on the proposal.

"Not any time in the foreseeable future," Richards said.
