The state shouldnt be in the racetrack business because most states cant run any business profitably. But that doesn't mean that the racetracks aren't still hamstrung by the states decisions.

Once again Chuck it is tiring to say the same thing over again. I was against the bailouts. I am against the state helping casinos, I am against the state helping the autos, I am against the state helping horse racing if it means losing millions of taxpayer dollars in the process. Why you continually change the subject is beyond me...

Explore away on VLTs. I'm at a loss for seeing how pulling a handle is helping boost the sport in any kind of long term way. I don't expect someone who works in the industry to turn down a handout.
