REACTION FROM ANOTHER LOTTERY MILL SPONSOR. >> The Reporter: A DAY BEFORE A POSSIBLE VOTE ON HIS OWN LOTTERY BILL, SENATOR JIM MCCLENDON RECEIVED A CALL. HE WANTED TO SIT DOWN WITH GOVERNOR IVEY'S POWER BROKERS. >> THE SUPPORT SHE HAD IN THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, TO HER COMING FORWARD WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO DEAL WITH GAMBLING. >> The Reporter: MCCLENDON SAID THE ROOM FULL OF LAWMAKERS NEEDED TO SEE THE BILL BEFORE BACKING IT. THIS AFTERNOON, GOVERNOR IVEY'S OFFICE TOLD US, IT IS CLEAR THAT THE PEOPLE OF ALABAMA WANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON THE ISSUE OF GAMING ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. AND GOVERNOR IVEY HAS COMMITTED TO THEM, SHE IS READY TO DIG HER HEELS IN AND WORK WITH A LEGISLATURE TO GET THAT ACCOMPLISHED. ANOTHER COMPREHENSIVE GAMBLING BILL FAILED IN THE SENATE LAST MONTH BY JUST TWO VOTES. WHAT IVEY'S PATH TO A LOTTERY REFERENDUM LOOKS LIKE REMAINS TO BE SEEN. >> NORMALLY YOU GET IT IN THE WRITING, THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS AND THAT'S JUST A FACT. >> The Reporter: MEANWHILE, MCCLENDON EXPECTS THE SENATE TO VOTE ON HIS PURE LOTTERY BILL TOMORROW AFTERNOON. GOVERNOR IVEY ONLY HAS 11 LEGISLATIVE DAYS TO INTRODUCE AND PASS HER GAMBLING BILL BEFORE THE SESSION ENDS IN MID MAY. OF COURSE, SHE COULD ALSO CALL FOR A SPECIAL SESSION TO TACKLE THE ISSUE LIKE
