Gambling rally tomorrow

Tomorrow there will be a rally by conservative folks on the South Steps to urge legislators to vote against current gambling proposals, such as those proposed by Rep. Turner (D-Houston). As I reported earlier, gambling could be the only issue that the Democrats have any leverage on since Republicans are scared of their constituents - such as those who will show up on the South Steps tomorrow.

Some of the more moderate Dem's are interested in passing gambling, and the budget proposals were written on the assumption that some gambling proposal of some form will pass (apparently the House budget proposal is already $600 million short because of this, which is in addition to the $600 million that lawmakers are expecting from the "rainy day fund").

But look for some Democrats to make it to the rally.
