US Democrat Barney Frank is considering a bill to repeal last year's
anti-gambling legislation according to a spokesperson for the congressman,
who chairs the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee.
Frank's office confirmed that he was considering legislation, but added he
had not drafted the bill and had no timetable for legislation. According to
the UK's Financial Times newspaper, Frank called the law the 'stupidest ever
passed' and wrote on his website: "I am working on legislation to cut back
on this Internet gambling thing. "I think it's preposterous... maybe we can
make some money off it,' he added.
