Governor Cooper Ready to Veto Horse Racing Bill
Nashville March 6 Governor Cooper declined to commit on the horse racing measure but administration circles indicate opposition to the act.

The track weight limit bill remains a revenue focus, with Civil Service reform as a key non revenue item. Legislative leaders expect an early House vote, with a near tie in the Senate anticipated.
