LEACH VS. ONLINE CASINO GAMBLING IS BACK AGAIN

Persistent Republican representative for Iowa introduces new anti-online casino gambling Bill

Last month he was writing to other politicians and trying to drum up support for his vehemently anti-online casino gambling postion - this week Representative James Leach took another tilt at the industry when he introduced Bill HR 4411 (The Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) in the US House Committee on Financial Services.

This most recent attempt follows previous initiatives by the representative to hamstring internet gamling by prohibiting or restricting payment processing. Commentators opined that the bill is very similar to one that Senator Jon Kyl tried to attach to an appropriation bill earlier this year, which failed.

Industry observers believe there is little liklihood of any activity on the Bill until the new year.
