Senate Action Reduces Race Track Fee in Maryland
In Annapolis the Senate backed wiping the $6,000 daily race track license fee from the revenue bill and proposed a 10 percent take of betting gross, with six percent to tracks and four to the state. Delegate Leon Abramson warned of a House battle if the plan passes, urging a clause to guarantee state revenue averages over the past three years if the four percent cut falls short. Senator James Lindsay criticized the move as bowing to racetrack lobbyists. The plan aims to deliver more funds to the state, opposing advocates claim the change is risky and uncertain.
