Final wagering bill gains Senate support in Texas
Senator Ike Harris pushes pari mutuel wagering as a potential tax revenue source amid a state financial crisis. The Senate tentatively approved the plan 19-10 with a final vote set, proposing a Texas Racing Commission to supervise racing across metropolitan and regional tracks and possibly a statewide referendum. Opponents fear crime and financial harm while supporters call it economic development and note needed future revenue.
