Default Just go away, Joe.....

Please Joe, go find something else to run into the ground. Maybe you can buy a Dunkin Donuts franchise and change the menu to include hotdogs while excluding donuts, or something stupid like that.

Regardless of what happens with the zoning process, if we are successful [at auction], we would take all reasonable steps to get Laurel back in the running," he said. "If the license ends up with the Mills, being involved in the industry for a quarter of a century, I don't know how Laurel could survive with 5,000 [slot machines] up the road."

It's easy, Joe. You take the millions that will be given to supplement purses as a result of slots revenue, and you use it to run a horse racing business!!! You take more millions that will be granted to make facility repairs and upgrades to improve your buildings. But, you don't want to run a horse racing business Joe - you just want slots money. So, just go away Joe. The only person that has screwed up MD racing more than Magna, is Joe DeFrancis.

Such steps, he said, include continuing the legal strategy undertaken by Laurel Park, whose lawyers said this week that they would appeal the slots commission's decision and intervene when necessary in every zoning and permit proceeding related to the Cordish project.


Oh, that's really intelligent. Fight Cordish to keep them from getting zoning approval so that they can't build a facility that will provide the racetracks with purse money and facility renewal money. Smart, Joe - real smart.

Once again, we see that this isn't about Joe wanting to help MD racing - this is only about Joe helping Joe while he uses MD racing as his tool.

Just go away Joe.....
