Kentucky House MUST pass Senate bill 3, to move filing deadline to after legislative session.
If you wonder why, one reason is spelled out by Governor Steve Beshear's response to why he waited so long to introduce his "gaming" bill, as reported by the Courier-Journal:
Beshear defended the timing, saying House members didn't want the bill out in public until after the deadline for candidates to file for this year's elections.
Call your House member and ask him/her to pass David Williams' Senate Bill 3, which has been languishing in the House since January 31, 2008!
UNLESS we move the filing deadline, we can expect these kinds of political self preserving maneuvers from our elected officials in the General Assembly.
