A bill introduced by State Sen. Elder Vogel Jr and three colleagues seeks to dissolve the Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission and the Racing Commission, folding all racing oversight into the state Gaming Control Board. The plan would move authority from the Agriculture Department to the gaming agency, impacting harness and other racing forms and Lawrence Downs project.
