When lawmakers return to Frankfort on March 29th, a substantial issue remains on their legislative plate. That is, whether or not to legalize sports wagering across the Commonwealth. Senate Majority Floor Leader Damon Thayer has been an outspoken supporter of such an expansion. He said last week, the passage of the medical marijuana bill could provide new momentum for sports betting.
“I don’t want to get anybody overly excited on one side or the other but that’s a big bill that’s been passed in the House a few times that we finally got through the Senate,” said Thayer.
