Idaho is dropping Powerball - gun related

Post by kcclark »

Idaho’s legislature is dominated by Republicans, but objections to the change also emerged from Democrats. The killing of the bill by a 10-4 vote by the House State Affairs Committee means that the state’s last Powerball drawing will be in August.

Republican Rep. Heather Scott worried that when Australia joins Powerball, the country’s officials might use revenue generated for government coffers to back causes she opposes.

Scott expressed concern that could happen “in Australia anti-gun causes, which they see as good and we see as not good.”
