You're too kind, Ryan!
The St...Profiteering? <br /><br />You're too kind, Ryan!<br /><br />The State of Indiana sold "racino" licenses for $250 <b>MILLION</b> (plus additional financial commitments).<br /><br />Senator Pacheco proposed to sell licenses for $25 <b>MILLION</b> and the percentage wasn't clearly spelled out in the bill.<br /><br />How did Massachusetts lose $225 <b>MILLION</b> in Senator Pacheco's legislation that was erroneously labeled "LOCAL AID"?<br /><br />That $225 <b>MILLION</b> gift to 4 track owners might have gone a long way to preserve other local businesses that have closed. That's <b>$900 MILLION</b> the state was cheated out of.<br /><br />The owner of the Plainville track bought it when it was losing money with full knowledge, on the hopes that wildly profitable SLOTS will reward his losing investment.<br /><br />Racing needs to die a peaceful death all by itself!Middleboro Reviewhttp://middlebororeview.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
