A.G. File No. 2007-017

Pothole Repair Funded by Online Poker (Amendment #2-S)

July 12, 2007

 


This measure establishes a state-owned poker site on the Internet. The site would generate revenue through “rake” (a percentage amount of funds wagered by players) and tournament entry fees. Of the Internet site’s net revenues, 80 percent would be apportioned on a per capita basis to incorporated cities and towns to repair potholes and broken streets, 10 percent would be allocated to counties for pothole and street repair in unincorporated areas, and the remaining 10 percent would be allocated to a state government fund that provides moneys to organizations that assist persons with gambling addiction problems.
