And an FYI, the slots aren't out of the water yet.

Trust me, I don't feel bad for the bettors when it comes to the 'little guys' that make the tracks/casinos run. Take for instance the far underpaid backstretch workers that can be financially ruined by even 1-3 days without pay.

Hopefully this will be taken care of soon...

Philadelphia is on TVG today, they are racing.

I'm glad someone is trying to put the brakes on excessive salaries and benefits for public employees. We, the taxpayer, are footing the bill.
