Erie TV level adds to harness racing licensing dispute
WICU-TV in Erie charges a conflict of interests after the Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission awarded a fifth license to Mountain Laurel Inc. for The Meadows near Pittsburgh. Erie Rep. Forest Hopkins says Erie was doublecrossed and calls for an investigation as the station notes ties between commission chair Powers, a bank director, and Delvin Miller, head of The Meadows owner group. The license will add 64 racing days at The Meadows, with Erie lawmakers urging scrutiny and the attorney general review.
