Senator Kyl had nothing to do with this (He's a US senator, not in Arizona state gov't). The racing industry did this to themselves. A few years earlier they lobbied the state to make it a felony to wager on a horserace from home (ADW wagering) which the state complied. When they (a different "they" but in the state's eyes, still the same "horseracing industry") went back and asked that it be made legal again they were turned down. Apparently the Atty. General and Governor felt they were being jerked around. Probably rightly so from their point of view. Another example of the racing industry shooting itself in the foot.
