With both the House and the Senate in recess until 6:30 this evening, Frankfort is abuzz with rumors about whether or not casino gambling legislation can get out of the House and into the Senate. The consensus is that absolutely no one has a clue.

Governor Steve Beshear will address a joint session of the Legislature at 7:00 P.M. Eastern. So be sure to tune into KET for that.
