I have a suggestion for Sen. Westwood, because I'm not grasping how any fair-minded person can oppose letting the [casino referendum] process go forward. All of Kentucky needs to know either way, and casino gambling will have a huge impact on Northern Kentucky.
Westwood could clearly support the concept of letting the voters decide without being for or against casino gambling itself. He could actively work to see that a referendum bill with good wording gets through the Senate sooner rather than later. He could match his concern for fetal development with greater concern for economic development.
It's time for leadership. The only reasons to postpone this referendum are bad ones.
Jack Westwood has shown time and time again that he lacks leadership. Luckily, we have a chance to replace him in November with Kathy Groob.
