Gambling expansion eyed as revenue booster for Kansas tracks
Kansas lawmakers hear promises of 30 to 50 million dollars yearly in gaming taxes if slots are allowed at The Woodlands and Wichita Greyhound Park. Supporters argue casinos would stem losses to tribal and riverboat casinos, while opponents warn of austerity and no new revenue. Charlton Ruffin Jr. and Woodlands officials frame slots as essential for survival through the legislative session.
