Kentucky VLT backers to hold rally at State Capitol

Return Home
June 11, 2009 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Due to current threats to the equine industry, Governor Steve Beshear unveiled a bill on Tuesday that, if passed, will allow video lottery terminals (VLTs) to be placed at Kentucky’s racetracks, and to show support for the Governor’s proposal, the Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP) will hold a rally at the Capitol on Wednesday, June 17.
 
Revenue from expanded gaming will benefit all equine breeds by enhancing purses and breeders’ incentive funds in an attempt to remain competitive with states that already use this form of subsidy. The state’s signature industry supports 100,000 jobs and has a $4 billion annual economic impact on the state.

What: Rally in support of the Governor’s bill to allow VLTs at race tracks

When: Wednesday, June 17, 2009, at 10 a.m.

Where: Capitol Rotunda, Frankfort, Ky.

Who: KEEP members and others involved in the equine industry

Why: Kentucky’s $4 billion equine industry is threatened by enhanced purses and breeding incentive awards in other states. (KEEP)
