Race Horse Gambling Repeal Moves In 45th Legislature
Preliminary actions in Austin show repeal of horse racing gambling as the sole aim of the special session. The House state affairs committee advances the Bradbury repeal bill by 14 to 1, rejecting a delay until 1939 and tabling local option bills. In the Senate, Fort Worth’s Frank Rawlings maneuvers to send the Bradbury bill to state affairs, facing a tight, evenly split scenario as anti repeal forces push delays and strategy.
