Buczko Urges $2500 Asset Collection From Raceway
State Auditor Thaddeus Buczko urged the attorney general to collect about $2500 owed by Hancock Raceway from its bankruptcy assets. The funds include unclaimed winning pari mutuel tickets from 1983 and a small bank balance. The report criticizes low daily surety bonds for racing tracks and cites Barington and Berkshire fairs with higher take but modest bonds.
