Louisiana Bill Seeks State Lottery for Revenue
Baton Rouge reports a House Ways and Means committee favorably considers a constitutional amendment to allow a Louisiana state lottery for revenue. Representative Gilmore argues funds from a state lottery could replace money spent on foreign lotteries and aid veterans and the deaf and dumb. He notes past Louisiana lottery funds supported charity hospitals and cites large potential annual revenue figures. The measure follows debates from the 19th century and acknowledges ongoing prohibition in the constitution.
