Californians to vote on greyhound racing in five counties
A proposed bill by Assemblyman Leon Ralph would legalize greyhound wagering in Alameda Los Angeles Orange San Diego and Santa Clara counties potentially creating about 4000 jobs and generating 30 to 40 million dollars annually in tax revenue if approved and signed by Gov Brown. The measure notes dogs reach speeds to 40 mph while chasing a mechanical rabbit and argues it would attract new bettors without harming horse racing profits. Ralph cited past lottery and horse racing bills and stated current law bans betting but not racing.
