State Too Generous Thus Far?

The state of Pennsylvania has been very good to the horse racing tracks. They have long supported them when they were having problems, and then finally they brought in slot machines to help them build their purses and attract bigger fish to their pond. However, a bunch of Republicans in the government are now thinking that perhaps they have been a little too generous with the tracks and that they need to take some of that money back.

Ever since the tracks were able to bring in slot machines millions of dollars have come flooding in, and the horse racing industry is truly fat with profit. However, the state is looking at a significant budget shortfall, and with programs like education and Head Start soon to be on the chopping block a lot of people also think that they need to give up some of that profit.

These local politicians say that instead of the horse racing industry getting as much of the profits as they have, they have to give the state $100 million. This money would go for the various programs that are going to be cut without the influx of money. Instead of sending slot machine money to the tracks, they could keep some of it back – thus ensuring these programs can continue to operate.

Needless to say the horse racing industry is very upset by the plan. They say that it would be “devastating” to the industry, and that it would hurt them immensely. They say that with the slot machines they are finally the best in the industry, and to take away the slot machine revenue would put them back on the bottom. They say that horse racing in the state would never be the same, and that they would not be able to recover from such a loss.
