I love horse racing. But why should horse racing not have to stand on its own? So a homeless shelter or early start programs for kids aren't funded? These are things Christie is proposing.

But it's OK for Trenton to subsidize the casinos for decades? That's OK?

Boosting racing interests via the casino skim has a positive influence on the state's economy that likely pays back the alleged subsidy.
