“The environmental community is being more diligent in bringing win-win issues to the Legislature that not only help protect our air, land and water but also help our business friendly-manner. That combination has afforded us the opportunity to be taken more seriously.”

“If I were a member of the legislature, the affect of Kentucky's horse industry on the expanded gaming issue would not be enough for me to vote 'yes,' ... It's got to make sense from a broader standpoint. The issue to me, which I think it is to most people, is more about how our children are educated, or about seniors, and the basic services provided by the government and the problems of funding and the infrastructure of government at the local level. It's about all these things that add up to what kind of Commonwealth we have and how we're going to pay for it.”
Nick Nicholson
“They shut the door of the courtroom in our face and said you're not allowed in. The Legislature wrote the statute to protect themselves from exactly this kind of complaint.”
