Pack of Lies

Initiative 421 was voted down yesterday, as the people of Nebraska wisely said that video keno will not improve life in our state. Kudos to our friends at Gambling with the Good Life who did great work to encourage people to vote for families and healthy communities, not for enriching a few keno operators on the backs of the poor.

One interesting side note: Voice of the Huskers Kent Pavelka was spokesman for the pro-keno side, telling people not to believe the “pack of lies” about video keno. Ummm, Kent, you’re calling Tom Osborne a liar when you do that. I know Tom didn’t win his bid for governor last spring, but that’s still not a wise tactic in this state.
