Former House Representative Bob Barr is the latest public figure to comment on the state of online gambling in his Atlanta Journal-Constitution column, the Barr Code.
Barr mentioned that the potentially revenue generated from legalizing, regulating and taxing online poker was becoming harder for the government to ignore.
Barr went on to say it was very likely that Barney Frank’s pro-online gambling bill would go before a hearing this fall.
Earlier this year, conservative columnist George Will wrote in his Washington Post column that he supported the legalization of online poker.
