Fixed Split Seen For Racing Formula In Vermont
MONTPELIER The House Ways and Means Committee studies a fixed split plan for the 18 percent pari mutuel pool at Green Mountain Park racetrack. Sub committee chair Tom Salmon says near agreement favors a fixed split over the current sliding scale, with action expected Friday. Rep Howard Osborn notes sentiment may favor a slight edge to the track, but exact figures undecided. The 1959 bill set a 10 to 8 track to state division, with the track covering mortgage and expenses and the state receiving the remainder.
