Expanded gambling may end up in court, but the challenge probably won't come
from opponents of the new law but from the Attorney General himself.
Attorney General Paul Morrison tells Eyewitness News that he talked to
Governor Sebelius about his bringing a legal challenge to the law. The goal:
get any questions about the constitutionality answered. "I'm going try and
do is expedite the process of getting that bill before the courts so we that
we can get a yeh or ney on it from the courts so that people who want to
invest and build will know that they're not squandering their money"
Morrison says.
Another issue is whether Sedgwick or Sumner county will receive the one
casino promised to the region. Lawmakers will likely take up the issue when
they return to Topeka on April 25th.
