twitterSenate lottery panel named
Wednesday, April 13, 2005 | 9:18 a.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Nearly half of the state Senate is on a special committee that will debate the lottery bill approved last week by the House, including several members worried about state-sponsored gambling.
Senate leaders Tuesday named 21 members to the special panel, including three Democrats who have publicly opposed a lottery, and six Republicans.
The committee chairman will be Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand, D-Cumberland, an ally of Gov. Mike Easley, who has been pushing for a lottery since his 2000 campaign.
