Sen. Del Marsh said today he was disappointed the Senate didn’t allow what he thinks most people in Alabama want, a chance to vote on whether to allow a lottery and casinos in the state.
“Honestly, I’m disappointed,” Marsh said after his bill fell two votes shy of the 21 needed in the 35-member Senate. “Because I think it was the first attempt for the first time in a long time to have meaningful reform in gaming. A very comprehensive bill that I thought treated the state very fairly and was going to do some good things for the state. But it is what it is.”

Law firm TLT has bolstered its real estate and financial services offering with a partner hire to its real estate faction.
Ranjeev Kumar joins from Watson Farley Williams, where he led the firm’s real estate finance in the capital.
“Ranjeev’s mix of real estate and financial services experience is clearly a great strategic fit for TLT and will enhance the firm’s offering across both these key sectors. His knowledge and experience will be a great asset to the team,” partner and head of financial services sector at TLT, Andrew Lyon, said.
With experience in domestic and cross-border real estate transactions, Kumar will largely have the same focus at TLT, working alongside developers, investors, banks and other financial institutions.
