Fall 2024 Dear Supporters, When the Legislature adjourned this year we breathed a sigh of relief as no expanded gambling bills were passed. Unfortunately, that relief did not last long as the Governor called for a special session on property tax reduction. We all want that but how do we get there? One of the […]
Those greedy gambling interests are never satisfied and every year they come back to the Legislature wanting more & more & more. This year is a long session – 90 days, so we will be fighting until June to “Keep the Good Life”. Almost 800 bills were submitted and 5 of them relate to gambling. […]
Dear Supporters, February 1st (my Birthday) was a long and difficult day at the Capitol. Five of us testified (including Tom Osborne) and some of us were there until after 6 PM. The hearings just went on and on and on with so many pro gambling advocates including a rep from the national Draft Kings […]
Greetings, it has been awhile since I last caught you up on what’s happening in the “Gambling World” or even better the “Anti-Gambling World”. We are now in our 25th year of success – no expanded gambling in Nebraska in the last 25 years. This is a miracle and one for which we give God […]
How do you honor the legacy of not only one of the greatest historical figures in Nebraska history, but greatest civil rights leaders in World history? Maybe with statues, or with schools, parks, and bridges named in their honor. Whatever the case, you likely wouldn’t ever think to include a casino on that list, especially […]

Our first blow came in May when the U.S.Supreme Court ruled that all states […]
In Carter Lake, Iowa The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska is preparing the site for construction and finalizing agreements to reimburse the city for revenues lost by making the land tribal territory. Bulldozers are preparing the land even as an effort by Iowa and Nebraska to block the casino is under review by a federal judge. […]
Is it too much to ask for “NO” expanded gambling bills in 2018? The answer apparently is “NO”!! This is a “short” year for the Nebraska legislature, 60 days, ending on April 18th, 2018. They have lots of important bills to discuss including closing a huge deficit in the budget but somehow a few pro-gambling […]
Here we go again ! On November 15th the Ponca’s announced that they had finally (after 9 years on appeal) had gotten permission to build a casino on 5 acres of land in Carter Lake, Iowa (on Nebraska’s side of the Missouri). They had bought the land in 1999 under the pretense of building a Clinic. We […]
