Carlin backs gambling ballot vote for economic plan
Gov. John Carlin joined supporters of a constitutional change to legalize a state lottery and pari mutuel wagering on horse or dog racing. He said proceeds would fund long range economic development while his plan also calls for a penny increase in the 3 percent sales tax to raise about 190 million dollars for the general fund. He argued the investment budget would double efforts in the Department of Economic Development to spur Kansas business growth.
