Democrats stall on UIGEA repeal

Democrats say they may introduce a bill to overturn the online gambling legislation passed by Congress last fall. In an interview with Reuters this week, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Barney Frank, said he is considering introducing legislation that would repeal elements of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Frank told Reuters he would offer more details in the next week or so, but a spokesman for the Massachussets congressman said he had not drafted a bill and had no timetable for action.
