I can’t remember the exact figure, but I think I recall that Keenland and Churchill will spend over one billion dollars to prepare for thousands of slot machines.

I wonder, how long it takes, with THE PROPOSED GAMBLING REVENUE, for these two tracks to amortize such a sizable debt. Then, they may have THE CASH.

Looks like GOVERNMENT BAIL OUT HAS SPREAD FROM WALL STREET . . . TO THE RACING INDUSTRY.

I VOTE.

NO!

Say No and other structure, to counter the proposal of gambling, are already formed.

There does exist the chance our previous amendment for the lottery may cover the installation of slots, and without a public vote.

If Churchill Downs and Keenland are “hurting” so much whey then do they invision over one billion dollars in new expenditures to make a place for 1000 slot machines.

It would seem to me, if your business is failing then perhaps you need BETTER MARKETING to attract more players.

The economic group that plays slots is not the same group that bet on horses. It could be Horse tracks had the para mutual advantage for many years. But, when CASINOS came with River Boat Gambling, across the country, then the horse pool for betting went down. And, now CASINOS have learned 80% of their revenue is generated by those that play the one arm bandits.

During the last session it was Keenland and Churchill that did not want the CASINOS on their racetracks, but a seperate location. They did nto want to mix the BMW’s and the CADILLACs with the pick up trucks and older model cars. Now, the TRACKS say “BRING IT ON.”

If Kentucky ends up with only two race tracks Churchill and Keenland the horse people will still go to the tracks. And, with the elimination of the OTHER SUB STANDARD TRACKS just maybe, KEENLAND AND CHURCHILL will draw more fans.

This is not a problem created by consumers.
This is a problem created by expanded gambling across our nation. Now, when the race tracks were not able to compete, they want the government to BAIL THEM OUT.
Pardon, me . . . BUT . . .HAVE WE NOT SEEN ENOUGH, DANGEROUS, QUESTIONABLE BAIL OUTS BY OUR FEDS?

I wonder what the real impact will be on Kentuckians if slots are allowed. When the lottery was introduced in Kentucky several years ago that idea was supposed to make a difference. Has it? Not really. The question is not “do we approve slots, gambling or or other lottery schemes”. The answer is we need to control spending and that starts within our own state government. Politicans are greedy. They have the best health and retirement benefits. Kentuckians are getting by on bread crumbs while they take trips to the beach and say the trips “are necessary”. I wonder how much money the politicans are pocketing from out of state “players”. Kentucky needs to rise up and clean house on election day. Citizens vote out the incumbents

IMO< The Slot Idea was hatched while Stumbo was the AG. I am sure the statues has been researched but, then maybe not.

But, you can bet, NOW someone will go back and closely examine the old Wallace Wilkerson Fix or Education, the Lottery.

BOOK IT!
