Lottery Legislation heads to the Alabama House of Representatives

Lottery legislation is heading to a critical vote in the Alabama House of Representatives.  Thursday's vote could determine if a proposed state lottery goes before voters later this year or if the bill dies in the special session.  Secretary of State John Merrill held a press conference Wednesday shedding light on the debate over whether there was still time to get the measure on the November ballot.  Merrill said he is seeking the opinion of the state attorney general.
