About LinkBacksAccording to PokerNews, Rep. Jim McDermott's bill to regulate Internet gambling in the U.S. will not get a markup in the House Ways and Means Committee before the November elections.
A spokesman for McDermott told PokerNews that there wouldn't be enough time for a markup before November.
From PokerNews:
There is still a chance for the markup to be held following the Nov. 2 elections, when Congress is expected to return for a lame-duck session. McDermott's representative said the congressman would like to see the bill advance before the end of the year, though he cautioned that time is running out and the amount of legislation awaiting action is very large.
