Typical bs from the same old crybabies looking to curry favor with unions. The whole "education" argument is lame but people seem not to be able to see it for what it is, pandering to the teachers union. These mandates were given to the horse racing industry in lieu of casino licenses, the idea being that the politicians could take care of everyone. But now they want to renege on the deal because the state is broke? We are talking about money that has yet to even be made in a casino that does not yet exist. I'm tired of horseracing being treated as though it is not an important business that raises huge amounts of money for state governments. Why not place a tax on the current Cubs owners who are about to make a huge windfall on the sale of the team? It makes about as much sense.
