Thirteen senators from Nebraska have released a statement expressing their opposition to the state's proposed expansion of online sports betting.
The senators voiced their dissent during a special legislative session on Friday, following the committee's passage of a Legislative Resolution that calls for a public vote on online sports betting. Concerns were raised that legalizing sports betting throughout the state would "inevitably lead" to a worsening of addiction problems. Last year, Nebraska legalized sports betting for retail customers.
