@johnnyg523 : Makes position official, allowing for NCSL to advocate for repeal of the federal law that prohibits sports betting (PASPA).

John Gallante ‏@johnnyg523 Aug 7
@DavidPurdum ok very good. Best guess on percentages of it being legalized?

David Payne Purdum ‏@DavidPurdum Aug 7
@johnnyg523 I think it is a matter of when, not if. Over/under is 2019.

Yeah but i think pretty much all of us would be happy just to see it on the path to eventual legalization even if it does take a while to get it all rolling.

It's way overdue...
