Casinos Fold & Budget Rolls: In the Room with Rep Allen Chesser
Summary
Rep. Allen Chesser was in the room on Tuesday afternoon when the news came down that casino legislation in the state budget was dead, including the one planned for his Nash County district.
The freshman Republican takes us behind the scenes of this epic political drama, his work over the last nine months to bring casinos to his district, and why he thinks the issue is far from dead.
Skye and Brian also talk about two election bills pending, the 'Reg-Reform' bill, U.S. Senator Lauch Faircloth dies, #TOTW, sticking it to lobbyists, and an awkward situation with Sen. Paul Lowe.
