Racino Amendment Should Not Be Used As a Poison Pill

Don't let the state blame Racino for its being held hostage by the Indian Gaming industry.

Racino should NOT be used as a poison pill by the Dems to kill the (Vikings) stadium (bill). It could actually be the panacea the state needs to fund the stadium with NO TAXES! 

At the same time, it would save the horse racing industry and the two tracks at no cost to anyone, provide thousands of jobs and augment the agricultural economy in Minnesota. 

In current Racino states, the ag economy has doubled and even tripled. Our legislature is being held hostage because of their own dealings. They need to be held accountable.
