The problem is there are too many decision makers. Nobody will give up their seat or position based on somebody's theory about what would be good for the industry.

I don't think that's the main problem at all. The CHRB worked just fine and there was enough for all the stakeholders when the sport was more popular. Even now, one of our tracks is very successful and another is not unsuccessful, despite having to deal with the CHRB. Indeed, we do better than most states do.
Get more people interested in horse racing again and believe me, nobody will complain about the bureaucracy.
