Jeff Gural talking with Darin Zoccali about the Meadowlands

[Kenny]

it's called business Kenny. They're not government handouts,, you can't have a casino without a racetrack it's the price of doing business.

That is false. That is a government stipulation that can disappear with a signature. I would love to see it put to a referendum of the VOTERS most of whom could care less about racing. There is nothing about a casino that needs a racetrack. In fact, casinos would be better off without racetracks because they could use all that land for more valuable businesses. A few slot machines taking up a few square feet can make as much revenue as all that racetrack land. You need to wake up!

[Lockedin with Pace]

He's too dumb to realize the casinos would make alot more money if they weren't giving some of it away to the racetracks.

If each state allowed decoupling, how many casinos would keep racing?  The racing business is a loser for the casinos. They only keep it because they are forced to. That could easily change.

    You're too dumb to realize that racetracks provide huge support to casinos. Or that the horse racing industry provides billions of dollars to the states.

Show us some figures to back up your claim of billions or did you just make that up?

[Kenny]

You are too dumb to learn the facts. First, casinos lose money on the race tracks. Pass decoupling and the tracks are gone. Second, the government gives BILLIONS in handouts to the racing industry. Take that same money and use it to reduce tax or spend it on schools or infrastructure and you get a bigger return AND the people actually want those things. It is amazing how you can be so in the dark.

[Kenny]

Show us some figures to back up your claim of billions or did you just make that up?

The only place those figures exist is in his head. In PA, over 85% of the purses come from handouts not handle. It is the same in most other states. How would the people who  own horses do if a $10,000 was $1,500?  That is the real magnitude of the situation.

Agreed,,, you’re wasting your breath with these peons
