Thank you for contacting our office and sharing your concerns with Senator Colbeck regarding the regulation of internet poker and iGaming, addressed through Senate Bill 889.
Senator Colbeck is opposed to SB 889.
He generally opposes increased government regulation, especially when it is driven by the quest for additional tax revenue.
