Woodlands tracks face decline as gamblers shift to casinos
The Woodlands and Wichita tracks saw betting drop about 9 percent from 1993 to 1994 while attendance fell from just over 1.0 million to about 1.7 million across 1990. Officials blame Kansas City area casino games for reduced traffic, and push for slot machines amid mixed legislative prospects.

House Passes GOP Welfare Reform Bill in Congress
The GOP plan would eliminate 45 social programs and fund states via five block grants to design local welfare, banning cash aid for unwed teenage mothers and restricting benefits for children born to welfare parents. Welfare recipients would face work requirements after two years and five-year time limits. White House Chief of Staff Panetta calls it a major redistribution of income in the wrong direction, while President Clinton opposes it. Rep. John Mica defends the bill, arguing current aid creates dependency and cites signs reading Dont Feed the Alligators as proof of the dangers of handouts.
