Governor not giving up on gambling proposal

Wednesday, April 16, 2003 | 11:34 a.m.

TOPEKA, Kan. - Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has not given up on her proposal to expand legal gambling in Kansas. "Nothing is dead," Sebelius said Tuesday during a news conference. Sebelius has proposed allowing slot machines and other electronic gambling devices at the state's five dog and horse tracks and permitting a casino in Dodge City, with local voter approval. But the Dodge City provision was not included in a bill endorsed by a Senate committee to permit slot machines at tracks where voters in the surrounding county and adjacent counties approved. The bill remains in limbo during an extended recess that ends April 30.
