Del Marsh said today he was disappointed the Senate didn’t allow what he thinks most people in Alabama want, a chance to vote on whether to allow a lottery and casinos in the state. “Honestly, I’m disappointed,” Marsh said after his bill fell two votes shy of the 21 needed in the 35-member Senate. “Because I think it was the first attempt for the first time in a long time to have meaningful reform in gaming.
