Lawmakers Debate Lottery Bill in the House

The lottery legislation is being debated in the Alabama House of Representatives Thursday. A number of lawmakers are voicing their concern about the measure. The vote could determine if a proposed state lottery goes before voters later this year or if the bill dies in the special session. Alabama would become the 45th state with a lottery if lawmakers and voters approve the idea.
