How representatives might vote, or not

The 99 current members of the state House are split over the current proposal to allow casinos in Kentucky, according to the Herald-Leader's vote count based on 84 interviews with lawmakers in recent days as well as previous public statements of the others. A constitutional amendment would need 60 votes to pass out of the House. Here's where the 99 say they are on the issue now:
