The leader of the Alabama Senate said Thursday he does not think a lottery, electronic gambling and sports betting proposal unveiled by a senator earlier in the day has a chance to pass.
Senate President Pro Tem Garlan Gudger, R-Cullman, released a statement saying the plan by Sen. Greg Albritton, R-Atmore, is short on support and short on time.
“With 12 meeting days remaining in the session, both budgets still awaiting approval, and other important bills and measures demanding focus and attention, the comprehensive gaming bill released today is simply too little, too late, and has too few votes to pass,” Gudger said.
