Here's the link to the LSRC http://horseracing.la.gov/index.html it's around pages 150 ish.
I didn't see where it said they don't have to pay, but it says something about having to transmit to the host track. I'm glad Harrah's decided to pay him. Good for Harrah's.

Sorry. I dont need to bash Louisiana too bad but my brother-in-law worked in the oil business and he said the payola to Govt. officials in the state was absolutely incredible and accepted. I did not believe this could go on in the U.S. when I heard some of the stories.

I love the drive over I-10 swamps though. I love the green tree frogs. I love all the swamp wildlife. Im serious. Some of the coolest stuff. Now the Yankees up in Shreveport... thats not serious enough wild for me.
