Senator Goodlatte, a republican from Virigina has once again submitted a bill to end the lottery (On the 10th of this month). Goodlatte tried previously to end the lottery, but it never made if up the agenda far enough to be a worry. This may be a repeat performance of the last time he tried this, and it may not get far enough up the agenda again for it to matter.
What this does say is that Goodlatte is serious about killing this program and will do what it takes to keep bringing it back up for a vote. If you have friends in Virigina, ask them to do what ever it takes the next there is an election to make sure this guy does not get back in.
