We are deeply disappointed that the people of Alabama will, once again, be denied the right to vote on this important issue, the statement reads. ...Inevitably, people will continue to spend money on the lottery and other types of gaming in adjoining states and, sadly, Alabama will miss out on that sorely needed revenue.

They have so-so Indian casinos there. The one time I went to the one on I 65 N side of the road this seasoned casino player noticed something awry.

One vote made the difference in the Alabama legislative session, resulting in voters just barely missing out on seeing a lottery question on the ballot this year.

The last time Alabama residents saw a lottery proposal in the voting booth was in... [ More ]
