Posted this on the Poli Board.

The ultimate demise of the two bills (HB459 and HB600) was due to Danny Martiny running out the clock in the Senate. However, it should be noted that the list below are House members who represent districts from parishes whose constituents voted for Fantasy last November. These "representatives" voted against the two bills and their constituents.

Mark Abraham - Republican
Beryl Amedee - Republican
Robby Carter - Democrat
Raymond Crews - Republican
Rick Edmonds - Republican
Reid Falconer - Republican
Cedric Glover - Democrat
Dorothy Hill - Democrat
Valarie Hodges - Republican
Frank Hoffman - Republican
Mike Johnson - Republican
Sam Jones - Democrat
Bernard Lebas - Democrat
Sherman Mack - Republican
Wayne McMahen - Republican
Blake Miguez - Republican
Greg Miller - Republican
J Rogers Pope - Republican
Jerome Richard - Independent
Alan Seabaugh - Republican

That's not entirely true, Cameron Henry plays a HUGE factor into all of this. If he allows the sports betting bill to go to the House, fantasy passes easily.

Also, Karen Peterson voted against gaming in every vote she had. Being a Sen. from New Orleans and voting against fantasy is ridiculous.

At the end of the day, Cameron Henry tipped over the domino that made all of this mess and his special interest with John Georges was the downfall for both bills. Senator Martiny's political career is over, Henry will be running for Senator in 2019 and will continue his dirty political tactics. People who are blaming Martiny are not seeing the big picture on how this all played out.

May also be the most braindead person in the House. Sorry for those in Denham Springs.
