Alabama’s Republican state senators don’t all agree yet on what gambling legislation the 35-member body might approve, but several concur it should get to the Senate floor this week.
“We need to get this accomplished in the next week,” Sen. Greg Albritton, R-Atmore, told Alabama Daily News Friday about the bills approved by the House more than two weeks ago. “It’s like fish,” he said. “It doesn’t get any better with age.”
He’s sponsoring in the Senate the sweeping proposal to allow for the sale of lottery tickets, 10 casinos with table games and in-person and online sports betting.
