Apples and Oranges but Chicago politicians just decided a 3 year minimum instead of a year minimum for a gun crime is too much.

Guess it's a matter of opinion but I'd consider a gangbanger doing a drive-by or a felon in possession of a gun far more serious than David Wells injecting a horse or Clocker Danny turning in false works.

"The U.S. Attorney notes that these acts had the potential to defraud other owners and trainers whose horses were entered in the same race and defrauded the betting public as well."

That quote might be the first time that I have seen the Federal Government give a hoot about the horse player.

Now only if our government can explain why there should be a different set of rules regarding taxing money won betting horses as opposed to won in a casino, we might just start getting somewhere.
