I ain't holding my breath. The Alabama Senate passed the lottery once before, but the House said no. Not gonna be surprised if the same thing happens. I'd love the chance to vote on it, though. Would be great to play MM and PB at a store within walking distance.

Perhaps light @ the end of the tunnel for Alabamians. I hope so.

Will someone scratch my brain cells, please? I remember years ago in Alabama there were 'Vote Yes on the lottery' signs all over the place. What year was this?? Too bad it didn't go through then.

Am glad the Indian tribes with their casinos were mentioned.

Which is my point exactly.I have no problem with religious folk caring for people, looking out for their welfare, but you get those few who are up to no good. I mean even the Son of Man had no transportation, he walked, he had one item of clothing, yet some of these guys are living the highlife, and when l point it out..

And with the church's tax exempt status - more sting considering how much some of them rake in each year.

- Funny how they never say a word about some of their preachers accumulating tremendous wealth, while driving around in luxury cars living in huge homes, yet the majority of their congregation lives in poverty.

isn't it obvious Kenny? The nine, the Nazgul will probably say it's because it's evil and will lead the State down a path of doom.

Religion.....church and state. But AL derserves this. They can do a lot with these extra funds coming in. Remember AL is a verity religious state.

Senators passed the constitutional amendment 23-9.

I wonder the reasoning behind the 9 who were against - I would have thought it would be a 100% agreement behind rolling in that much money...

Tuesday night, Alabama state senators passed a constitutional amendment, along with three companion bills, to allow a lottery to be created in the state and allow for casino-style gambling.

The constitutional amendments include a comprehensive plan that incudes a simple lottery one that only allows people to buy tickets in person or online, and creates a broader system that would also allow for casino-style gambling.
