Savannah Republican Rep. Ron Stephens is betting on the promise of an infusion of money into the HOPE Scholarship to help his horse racing bill sprint through the House before an important legislative deadline Monday.
Stephens’ bill would let voters decide whether to amend the state constitution to allow horse racing in Georgia. It would allow three tracks to operate in the state but prohibit other forms of gambling, such as casino gaming, on the sites.
Will Legislature allow Alabamians to vote on gambling revenue for state?
