Betting Backers Push Parimutuel Bill In Texas Senate
A Texas senator led a hearing on a parimutuel betting bill with opponents noting moral concerns. Supporters from business and ranching communities argued wagering would bring millions in tax revenue and jobs, while critics cited moral harms. The measure would require local option votes, levy tiered taxes on bets, and establish a three member regulatory commission.
