Suit Challenges Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Racing Act
Charles J. Schmitt of Brie filed a taxpayer suit in Dauphin County Court Harrisburg challenging the 1967 Thoroughbred Racing Act. He argues the bill originated in the Senate, questions the act’s revenue provisions directing the first 10 million to religious schools, and notes prior Supreme Court action on licenses. The Horse Racing Commission set racing seasons at Liberty Bell track and Pocono Downs with dates to begin this year. The suit coincides with ongoing state efforts to expand gambling revenue and track operations.
