Sounds about right, democrats stealing your stuff. Then giving it to someone else!

they signed off that they cannot do this in the future in the past

Ohio better be taking notes because it's the the new type of eminent domain.  If alot of voters can benefit from that money, the smart politician will find it and procure it.

So ridiculous! The money they are robbing from the racing community could produce crippling effects
while it is chicken fodder to the state! Pennsylvania gives more money than that to individual lottery winners! Instead of outright thieving they should force the tracks to enforce better drug testing and improvements to their infrastructures!

...and what would the result of that be?

Finally get to hear from another Useless Director, Russell Williams. Is he protecting racing or is Russell protecting his financial interests concerning the funding in PA. Spoken like a true whorseman 

[The Exporter]

All horse racing has had as much as 25 years of tay payer funding. All racing has had an opportunity to stabilize and improve their product to compete in the evolving entertainment and gambling industries. For all this time and money what have they produced. If the subsidies continue at the same levels it will produce nothing more than the destructive complacency it now supports. 
 I don't see any meaningful change in an industry that is only competitive with itself and not competitive for market share. Racing behaves very much like an addict. As long as you continue to it dependencies, it will never change it's behavior.

Pretty accurate!  I'm just glad some political pressure is working.  Just make them aware of what racing actually is and they will have little choice but to cut it off.  The industry has had ample time to try something, anything, yet they do nothing.  The same 20 gene pools doing the same 3 things.
