Sixth racino license remains undecided in New Mexico
The New Mexico Racing Commission again leaves a sixth license off its October agenda. Since a July hearing the panel has delayed public discussion, citing internal reviews of industry information and upcoming inputs from the New Mexico Gaming Control Board. Warren Frost of the Quay County Gaming Authority says they are ready to proceed when the session appears, as their group remains the sole applicant after Moldenhauer’s appeals were denied and licenses were invalidated.
