From Lexington Herald-Leader:
Although the monthlong campaign has featured several attack ads from supporters of both candidates on a variety of issues, the issue of expanded gambling looms large in voters’ minds.
Wright, who graduated from Deming High in 1954, and arts teacher Linda Ishmael say they are not major proponents of expanded gambling, but other states have it and they need a new school building.
Webb, in an interview, said she voted for slots at tracks but is “not for geographical expansion of gaming.
“It’s not going to come to my district,” she said. “However, these are venues where gambling is going on now and the bill had funding to help addicted gamblers.”
