Friends,

Today I talked with sponsors of both SB167 and HB 213 and they both decided to pull their bills and maybe, maybe try again next year.  The House sponsor, Rep. Ezzell, was very upset about the op-ed that we had in the Albuquerque Journal this morning, saying the bill wasn’t about gambling—it was about horse racing.  I also know that she was running into trouble with at least one racetrack that didn’t like the bill. The Senate sponsor, Senator Papen, said that there were some tribes that felt there was a conflict with the tribal gambling compacts., as we suggested in the op-ed.  I think they also got a fair amount of flack from our supporters, which made a difference.

At any rate, a very big win:  NO LEGALIZED ONLINE GAMBLING IN 2018!!

Thanks for all that you did to help defeat these pernicious bills,

Dr. Guy Clark, chairman
