M.J.C. slashes purses/stakes

[Zippy Chippy]

Just a follow-up to my last post:

Michigan recently had a proposal on the ballot to legalize racinos. Guess who fought it? The casino industry actually teamed up with the remnants of the anti-gambling crowd to kill the proposal. Talk about politics making "strange bedfellows" . . . Needless to say, the casinos with all their cash were able to defeat racino movement. Not so coincidentally, this will be the last racing season at Great Lakes Downs.
