This is a good article that I read last month.. as you said in your last post it would take federal action to shut them down and I dont see that happening. The people in West Virginia support it. Wheeling is an old rundown steel town. The economy there is totally dependant on the casino, the dog tracks and the rabbit whose name is Spunky lol. I was just there over 4th of July weekend and talked to my wife's cousins about it and they said no way they would shut down. In fact she said the dog track helps to support the casino, the exact opposite of harness racing. Last labor day weekend they handled 4 million dollars
it looks like Wheeling and Mardi Gras would need de-coupling to maintain their casinos without the dogs-then maybe they would agree to stop dog racing
...so the voters in West Va would need to oppose it-and if that is the case, i agree with you that wont happen
they still believe coal is a good thing
it wouldnt be a good idea by the Feds if they got involved--that usually creates more problems
someday long after we are dead--dog racing will end in the USA
