COLUMBUS: A request for money by the Ohio Lottery Commission to expand gaming is in jeopardy.
The request to spend nearly $18 million on equipment needed to operate Keno, a video lottery game resembling bingo, is slated to go before the Ohio Controlling Board Monday. But Republican Senate President Bill Harris says the two Republican Senate members on the board that approves much of the state's spending will vote against the request.
Harris says Gov. Ted Strickland's administration should first make its case during public hearings conducted by a legislative committee that has authority to approve changes in agency rules.
Harris says he will ask the Lottery Commission to withdraw its request before the Monday meeting.
