Support mounts for state lottery
The Associated Press
JUNCTION CITY — The Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Industry's board of directors yesterday unanimously voted to endorse a state lottery that would raise $40 million for state tax coffers.
The 90-member board decided to throw its support behind a Senate-assessed proposal to amend the Kansas Constitution, which currently bans gambling in the state except on bingo.
During the 1985 session, the upper chamber endorsed a resolution 28-11 which would allow voters in the November 1986 general election to decide whether to begin a lottery in
Kansas.
The resolution requires support of two-thirds of the Kansas Legislature before it can be placed on the ballot, meaning it needed 27 votes to clear the Senate and needs 84 votes to pass the 125-member House. It now awaits action in the House Federal and State Affairs Committee when the 1986 Legislature convenes in January.
"There's no question how our board feels," said Bud Grant, vice president of the chamber. The chamber counts 3,300 businesses and 215 local and regional chambers of commerce and trade organizations among its members.
moves us quite a little bit more out front in support of it."
They do support a lottery. This
The board, he said, hopes this action has the same effect as action a year ago when the chamber went on record in support of proposed a constitutional amendment to allow liquor licensees' unit-banking law to permit multi-bank holding companies in the state.
The Legislature passed the multibank law and adopted the liquor resolution. The liqueur resolution also was placed on the ballot along with a proposal to increase the constitution to the classification of property for tax purposes.
pass," Grant said of the lottery resolution. "The board feels its time has come in Kansas. We've always felt people should have the right to vote on it and now we'll urge the House to adopt it."
Obviously, we hope it's going to
However, the chamber wants the current version of the lottery resolution change to eliminate a Senate bill that would raise funds raised for property tax relief.
"That's so nebulous and unmeaningful and we hope that's taken out," Grant said.
He said the lottery is projected to generate $80 million. However, only half that amount would go to the state with the rest spent on prizes and administrative costs.
