Pappas believes Reid/Kyl bill is written, waiting for the right time/vehicle

[mapleleaf]

John Pappas said today at the PPA Town Hall that he believes that Reid and Kyl have a finished UIGEA-II type bill with a poker carve out. He said they will likely try to pass it in the lame duck session. He said the fact that Kyl is retiring helps our chances since he wants to cement his anti-gambling legacy. He also mentioned the specter (to some) of more states passing iGaming (not poker-only) bills as helping the chances of federal regulation.

I didn't catch the town hall, I just can't take any more rumors. Dear, sweet, God that lives in the sky - I can't take any more rumors.

Great news if true. Anyone have the quote or link?

I always assumed the bill was ready, just not viable. I hope the lame duck changes that, but if not I'll probably just have to learn the words to Oh Canada.
