If anyone finds details on what such a plan would mean, post it here please.

Joey,
There's no plan as of yet. But even privitized, the entity running MTH, (NJ racing properties, et al..), are subject to the state's skim ('taxation') in the form of takeout. Remember that the state will still regulate the sport/run a racing commission, etc., and takeout funds that as well as other state coffer projects..
