Let's see what D PaLoan has to say about this.

HE HAS ALOT TO SAY

[MR.DALRAE]

Fake news...
This is going to get fought tooth-and-nail luckily we are tag-teaming with thoroughbreds

It’s taking a hit,,,,,1000% fact

[horses first]

Don't remember the details whether there is a minor raid or full blown raid on this money there will be lawsuits filed and it won't be that easy. If it is and a successful raid there are triggers that money still gets paid out in full for a time period. I know there are some safeguards but if politicians were smart which is questionable. They should raid the fund 20mln here 25mln there and make horse racing make it up. Like Hanover giving up those 23% breeders awards.
If all else fails the doom and gloom they can pick up and move to other states with welfare still flowing.

No hit will be taken unless the legislation is rewritten & that doesn't often happen. 1000% fact

IF this happens, the cleansing of the cesspool that is harness racing will begin. Other states will surely follow. As for Pennsylvania whoresmen going to other welfare states, where can they go? Ohio already has full fields with 15 races a night. Maybe New Jersey, and New York, where the King of Bullshit, Jeff Gural, would welcome them with open arms. Might I suggest Cal Expo? They are always looking for entries.

It is quite a leap to be speaking of a total demise of racing in PA. The 200 million dollar claw back seems to be a starting point. It is extremely unlikely it will be this much and done in one or two years.
 Whatever the amount is, it will force the horsemen to rethink how the money is spent. I would bet it will mean a sharp reduction in race days as they most likely will have greater restrictions to Pennsylvania bred and owned.

It`s about fucking time! The horsemen did nothing but look for better drugs to use with the extra purse money. All the little barns were driven out and now it`s time for the big barns to take a hit. How can anybody expect the States to keep pouring money into the purses for these fucking clowns to keep their chemistry sets stocked up? Fuck em! The industry failed itself by not policing the sport and by not promoting it. The sport died years ago, time to bury it.

And to add more gas to the fire Parx jockey's have refused to accept mounts sighting everything from horrible condition of jocks room to leaking toilets in grandstands with no toilet paper all the while charging the huge takeout. Time to pull the plug on Burke and company.

SAME COLONY THAT REFUSED TO RACE OVER THE SURFACE A FEW YEARS BACK?

It’s taking a hit,,,,,1000% fact

Not a fact, This is a proposed budget buy a Democratic Governor that will still have to get it passed in a Republican controlled legislature.

This is just 1 of many things that will have to be negotiated and voted on in the summer.

Many of the governor’s items fare facing long odds, since Republicans have rejected many Wolf’s proposals since he took office in 2015. The plan is already facing objections from the horse-racing industry, charter school proponents and local municipalities not want to pay extra for state police services .

It still may be cancelled or reduced, but if it does happen it will certainly be ligated by the court system.

 Let them litigate, waste more whoresmen money. I can see their argument now. "Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. My clients, the whoresmen, are no good, cheating, scum. If the welfare is discontinued, they will have to go out and find JOBS. This is totally unacceptable to my clients. We ask that you render a judgement in favor of my clients, the no good, cheating, scumbag whores.

Well lucky for them there are 7mln job openings around the country with plenty I'm sure with no experience.

Robbing?  Because the state is taking back some of the handouts?  If the product was that good it would be self-sufficient and not need to be subsidized by slot playing old ladies.

Robbing because, the Governor's proposal is fundamentally flawed as it seeks to raid a trust fund the legislature established in 2017 to block such transfers. Money in the Race Horse Development Trust Fund (RHDTF) comes from an assessment paid by casinos on their gross terminal revenues from slot machine gaming. The legislature noted in the 2017 Race Horse Reform Act that the money in the RHDTF "are not funds of the Commonwealth" and that the "Commonwealth shall not be rightfully entitled to any money" in the RHDTF. Sounds like robbing to me!

horsemen have been wasteing all this good money by not making their racing better for the horse players . millions have been wasted on this fake racing . horsemen better wake up its on them as these slot tracks don't want racing if its not profitable on their own.
