This is the text of the original Ca bill #2414, minus ammended deletions:
"THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:" That's it!!!
This is clearly a bait-and-switch bill to raise the overall takeout 2-3% because the Trots and Qtrs were already raised.
***** Quote on the LA takeout increase bill: "TOC adds, "that adopting this subsidy for night industry
races and using increased takeout for this purpose sets a
very poor precedent for day races. Horse racing in
California is threatened by a combination of factors,




AB 246 (Price) continued
Page 7



including competition from racing in other states, other
forms of gaming within California, pressure from developers
and race track bankruptcies. We need to be extremely
thoughtful about any increase in takeout and make certain
that related funds are used to support initiatives that
improve the industry's overall health."


So the TBred owners did not want LA increase (non-TBred), but wanted thei TBred increase! Talk about selfish greed!

I get nothin'. Just a few clicks and pops when the media player launches but nothing after that.

1:46 -- they are taking roll call.

They got started late, as usual...Andy had trouble too, O.K. now

Thanks for putting up the link Roger. :ThmbUp:

I think I got it wrong, the committee is confirming the CHRB members, but Brackpool is sure to get Questions about AB2414, We have requested the Ab2414 to have audio also.

Will notify if possible, they are not very prompt.

Maybe Brackpool can ask them if they pay $8000 a meeting to have it streamed over the internet.

Dagnabbit.

Roger, maybe you could give us a rundown of what happened. I can't listen to these people any longer.

It was not much...They went into executive session, I never heard from Brackpool, et.al

Delay?
 

They ccontinued a bunch of item numbers- I have no idea what item # 2414 is!

I get to media player, but then never hear anything.

rw, Are you actually in Sacramento now?

No, more later (when I find out more.)
