Advance Bill For Horse Bets At Du Quoin
Illinois House Agriculture Committee approved pari mutuel betting at the Illinois and Du Quoin state fairs by a 14 to 4 vote. Officials said five days of racing could add about 85000 to fair profits after initial one time costs. Du Quoin leader William Hays supported the plan to ease racing costs. Separately, a Senate bill would boost local share of income tax to about 10 percent, lifting city and county funding from 133 to 166 million annually, while a State Fair governance bill seeks a 15 member board to run the fair, with both governor appointees and local officials amid past criticisms of mismanagement.
