Kentucky’s New Gambling Plan: Hypocrisy, or Business as Usual?

To answer your questions Nathan, it is BOTH hypocrisy and politics as usual. Although I don’t think that Kentucky’s Beshear ever played the morality card, his actions were clearly a ploy to drum up new tax revenues and preserve existing ones to the fullest extent. His argument have clearly always been hypocritical, and he’s trying to use state laws to tip things in his state’s favor.
