No, that's pretty much it. Blood-Horse has had some articles about how it could impact the horse industry in the state if you search on their site.

Hard to predict how the people will vote on allowing casino gambling, actually (if they can pass through the constitutional amendment to allow a public referendum). I don't think it's an overwhelming yes, but who knows?

The state will be mired in partisan politics for the next four years, so we'll have to see if anything gets done about .... anything.

The first thing Beshear should try and accomplish is removing the tax on horse feed (which cattle, swine, etc. producers do not pay)
