REPLY FROM A LA. STATE REP. TO MY LETTER ABOUT PERMITTING INTERNET LOTTERY/GAMING. Because of our legislative schedules, such legislation would not be able to be introduced until the session of 2003[ I think even year sessions are fiscal only]. This is the last session before the legislature's reelection cycle in the fall of that year. I do not believe the legislature would be in a mood to approve any new gaming measures prior to their reelections. Accordingly, I would not be interested in handling such legislation." At least he wrote me back which is more than my own rep. and the rep. in my old neighborhood. And I would think finding new ways to boost lotto sales would be a fiscal measure. I'll send him a contribution and ask if he can intervene with the state lotto commission and gaming board board without having to have legislation approved. It is fascinating how politicians have to be defensive about gaming support when 38 states have a lotto and more and more are adding casinos. If "small family farmers" or "single mothers" owned the gaming outlets, I guess they would become sacred cows.
