Well, it appears that finally someone realizes that right now might not be the best time to shut down Mass Dog racing tracks! Sen. Marc Pacheco (D-Taunton) filed a budget amendment today that would delay implementing the dog racing ban until Jan. 1, 2012. Thank God a voice of reason has emerged among the animal rights alarmists.
I mean come on, is this REALLY the best time to put 600 people out of work at Raynham alone? What about the 10 million that establishment pays in state taxes each year? Why can't they take $100K of that revenue and hire reputable people to regulate the sport and protect the animals, so that we don't have to lay off hundreds and give up millions?
Hopefully this delay gains some momentum... here is a short Boston Herald article on the latest development: http://bit.ly/xwHMN
