Senate panel OKs second delay of Kansas Lottery life
The Federal and State Affairs Committee quickly endorsed a bill extending the Kansas Lottery’s life for six years to July 1, 2008, while rejecting a House plan to boost air travel revenue. The move sets up a House bill debate in the Senate and keeps video gambling, credit card, and Internet ads out of the agency. Gov Graves and leaders seek rapid passage.
