Tax relief for track aired at hearing in Montpelier
Public hearings before the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance committees heard Martin DeMatteo and Vincent Bartimo press for another year's extension of the liberal betting formula at Green Mountain Park. They warned loss of relief could force a 49 night harness season to shrink to 20 days of flat racing. The track argues last year’s betting business yielded more than 1 million dollars for the state. DeMatteo said continued cooperation could bind the track and Vermont in a strong partnership within five to six years.
