[HR2046] IGREA Co-Sponsors Now at 45 as Internet Gambling WTO Deadline Approaches
by Bob Hartman, CasinoGamblingWeb.com
Two days prior to the expected release of sanctions that will be decided by an arbitration committee of the WTO regarding the claim of Antigua & Barbuda in the case of cross-border trade in services for recreational gambling against the U.S., Rep. Ellen O. Taucher [CA-10], signed on to Rep. Barney Frank's IGREA (H.R.2046) to become the 45th representative to do so.
Congresswoman Taucher is currently serving her 6th term as a representative from California's 10th district. She is the Chairman of the House New Democrat Coalition, the largest centrist caucus in the House of Representatives. This committee is charged with enacting policies that maintain U.S. competitiveness, meet the challenges of globalization, and strengthen national security.
Rep. Taucher is also a member of the Aviation sub-committee, the powerful Highways, Transit and Pipelines subcommittee, she is chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee and is only the third woman to chair an Armed Services Subcommittee, and a member of the Water Resources and Environment subcommittee. Taucher also serves on the subcommittees of Air and Land Forces, and Oversight and Investigations.
"We commend Rep. Taucher for her leadership and insight on this critical issue," said Gordon Price, CEO of Casinogamblingweb.com. "We urge Congresswoman Taucher to continue to lead this great country and encourage her to speak to other representatives in Congress regarding this important issue."
