We have had people out front of River trying to get this legislation to the next step all summer, signing people up to vote, etc. I'm not exactly positive where its at in the grand scheme of getting passed through, but i've been told that no matter what, its still a ways away. I dont know where the guy who started this post got the info that Beulah is going to do a 200 million dollar renovation, he didnt cite any articles or sources,so who knows if its true. I talk to people who work at Beulah Park everyday, including the director of racing, and we've talked about slots, and he never mentioned anything about any sort of renovation. But just like every state that has got slot gaming at the tracks, its done wonders for purses, quality of horses, etc. so we'll see.
