Sale of the Lottery: Just so you know
House leader: "Absolutely not."
House Licensing and Admin Chairman Kino Flores has a bill on the floor right now to do a sunset review of the Texas Lottery Commission in 2009, instead of 2011.
His vice chairman, Charlie Geren, pre-empted apparently growing suspicion that the bill woudl be a vehicle for the governor's rather unpopular idea to sell the lottery.
Geren: "What did you say every time the sale of the lottery came up in committee?"
Flores: "Absolutely not, absolutely not, absolutely not."
Any questions?
