In all fairness to the Forbes OpEd, it seems to be saying that taking the casino money earmarked for the track will not solve the state's education funding issues. Unfortunately, there's the rest of the article to wade through to get there, where the writer displays a willful ignorance for how racing works. My favorite:

Pennsylvania takes 12 percent of its casino slot revenue and gives it to the horse track owners. The owners, in turn, use it to enhance the prize money to lure bettors.

Say what now?
