Legislation
Kansas Senate rejects bid to expand gaming


The Kansas Senate voted 26-14 against a proposal to expand gaming at state-owned and operated casinos.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D) said five new casinos and the addition of video lottery machines would generate $250 million for the state. Lawmakers disagreed, pointing to existing gaming at tribal casinos.

Sebelius is negotiating a revenue-sharing compact with the Kickapoo Tribe and the Sac and Fox Nation to build an urban casino.
