Governor Steve Beshear is going after illegal internet gambling operators in an unprecedented move. On Monday, the governor announced the Commonwealth's plan seize and forfeit 141 domain names of sites they say provide illegal gambling to the citizens of Kentucky. The governor says his administration is asking a Franklin County Circuit Court judge to give the state control of the sites to restrict access. Kentucky Justice Secretary J. Michael Brown says the state has already seized the domain names and is seeking forfeiture. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday before Judge Thomas Wingate. |
