How the Local Kentucky Media is Portraying Online Gambling Case - Gambling911.com

[I Heart Gambling Online]

Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear wants to block 141 gambling websites calling them illegal and unregulated. He claims that these online gambling sites are "leeches" to the Kentucky economy, yet Rick Muny, the Kentucky State Director of the Poker Players Alliance, claims his organization has well over 10,000 members in the commonwealth and winning poker players pay state taxes just like everyone else.

"I have to pay taxes on my winnings," Muny pointed out during a Monday press release.

Patrick Gleason of Americans for Tax Reform claims that Kentuckians are paying some of the highest taxes in the country.

"Kentuckians are getting clobbered by taxes," he said. "We need to make Kentucky a better place to live. The Government is squandering taxes on this case."
