Another gambling promise broken

Steve Beshear announced today he has selected his deputy chief of staff Vince Gabbert to head up his office's campaign to convince Kentuckians they approved video slot machines in 1988 without knowing it.

But wait! What's this? Didn't Beshear promise in his campaign he was going to make sure this issue made the ballot?

"It is time to put this question on the ballot and let the people of Kentucky decide. As Governor of this state, I will make sure that the people have an opportunity to make that choice."

Broken promises on the spending of the Lottery money, broken promises on what voters were told they were voting on, and now broken campaign promises.

Anyone notice a pattern developing here?
