Beshear Tries to Stop the Titanic From Sinking
« Enviro-News Part 2 | Main | Down goes the Titanic »Beshear's administration is becoming the Republicans best friend. Instead of finding solutions to the real issues facing the state, Beshear has decided to go "all in" on casino gambling. In the process he has divided his own party.
Currently. there are two factions in the Democratic house leadership with competing versions of a casino amendment. One that guarantees race track casinos and one that doesn't. Both sides are battling for their perspective plan.
Last night, Beshear brought the leaders together for an emergency meeting. I am sure he hopes to get the crap back into the horse by aligning all of them behind one of the plans. It will be interesting to see if he can get either side to budge. They almost have to if they want to portray a unified front on the issue. Otherwise the amendment has no chance of passing the house. A result which would be disastrous for Beshear.
In the meantime, Republicans get to sit back and watch as the Democrats implode over the casino gambling issue.
