It becomes a gaming issue only when and if the Legislature passes the bill, and it becomes a referendum in Kanawha, Ohio, Hancock, and Jefferson counties.

He said if the legislature doesn't do certain things, he's going to take the issues to a referendum, ... Then he has to follow through.

Once the bill passes, if it is challenged, the timing of getting to the U.S. Supreme Court is critical.

I look forward to being older, when what you look like becomes less and less an issue and what you are is the point.

If I had a bill in front of the legislature and came to the Coon Supper with enough bottles of 'Old No. 7' for all the legislators in attendance, it would be called bribery. When Jack Daniel's does it, it's just politics as usual.

If you start your pressure at the top of the circle, but when they get to that point it becomes live and everybody has to get tight and do their job, and that's not how it happened. There's big room for improvement there.
