here in "nausea" county, long island, local government killed otb and didnt change with the times. i don't think the problem was, and still is, in racing in general that the government doesn't see a change is neccessary to keep racing thriving, i just think its that they don't care if it goes the way of the dodo bird. to them it is just another way of getting tax dollars for their tax coffers. if and when it goes into oblivion there are unlimited numbers of other potential tax collection venues. the governments primary role of existance is to grow bigger and collect larger and larger sums of money. even in ex-president reagan's terms of office (may he rest in peace), after his last term the government was larger than when he entered office. and he ran on the no government platform. enuf said.
