Schweiker proposes state lottery exemption bill
United States Senator Richard S. Schweiker of Pennsylvania will introduce the State Lottery Exemption Act to free state lotteries from federal postal broadcasting and gambling restrictions. The measure aims to let states publicize lotteries, mail tickets, advertise, and operate without 10 percent excise taxes, boosting revenues for programs like elderly property tax relief. Schweiker argues current laws hamper state lottery promotion and calls the bill a end to puritanical limits.
