In Pownal Vermont Sunday racing referendum is seen as a tossup amid pressure from some for an affirmative vote and town anger over the track tax assessment appeal. Rep. Harvey D. Carter notes potential backlash could hurt the vote while the track’s latest tax ruling could weigh in. Carter estimates lost state revenue up to 500000 and town license fees up to 5000 if Sunday racing is rejected. Local officials differ, with Henry W. Bassen acknowledging rumored pressure and noting business fears. Perle Hibbard cites moonlighters who may oppose Sunday racing.
