Virginia- A Virginia Congressman is trying for the fourth time to outlaw most forms of Internet gambling.
Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) reintroduced the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act last week, in hopes of wiping out what has become a $12 billion a year industry – off-shore casinos taking bets from Americans.
Goodlatte blamed disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff for derailing his previous attempts to stifle Americans’ ability to place a casino or sports bet at the click of a mouse.
Abramoff has pleaded guilty to fraud and bribery charges in connection to his representing Indian casino interests on the Hill.
