Raynham Town Meeting voters will have an opportunity to vote on an article to ask the state to extend the ban on greyhound racing until January 2012 - a two year extension. If approved, the measure would require approval by the legislature and the governor.
Voters statewide voted to ban greyhound racing by a margin of 55 percent.
What is curious is the every fluctuating figures about employment at the Raynham dog track.
Recently, Mr. Carney was quoted in the Brockton Enterprise as stating --
.
Raynham-Taunton Greyhound Park owner George Carney said he’s in a race against the clock to save the 600 part- and full-time jobs at the track.
.
.
If the ban on dog racing wins approval, Carney says, it could eliminate 6,000 to 8,000 jobs at the two tracks.
.
Indiana bailed out its race tracks with predatory slot machines and then had to bail out the racinos -- Indiana Racinos.
.
It's time to allow race tracks to die a natural death from lack of interest.
