Re: Does anyone have a copy or link to the actual Bill introduced ?
Sniper is right, IF the 2 bills are seen as an either/or choice.
A lot can happen while bills go through committee. If the "poker carveout" is proposed too, then maybe the best compromise is that plus the study. We can support the study, but only if it is not allowed to let the status quo (and the UIGEA) continue for the next year or two or three while the study takes place. Skallagrim

Is a study really that good for us?... doesn't it have the potential to derail the Frank bill? [/ QUOTE ] That's something we'll all have to discuss, but I think it will be okay. First of all, the converse of this concern is that the Frank bill has the potential to aid the study bill. Also, the study sets a maximum study time of one year (which is very important for obvious reasons). Also, Berkley and Porter represent the interests that will likely take the lead in offering much of the U.S.-based Internet gaming, so there could be lots of loose cash floating around Washington. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Again, that's a first look, and it's one person's opinion. If Frank's bill takes off, we'll probably want to get Berkley to table her bill. Fortunately, there are other financially interested parties that should aid us with that. I personally think we support this, IGREA, and the Wexler bill and hope one or more take off.
