Illinois Race Fans Take Heed, Here Comes The Tax Man!
The State of Illinois is bankrupt and the chitcago political cesspool is going to start bleeding us downstate hicks every time we walk through the racetrack turnstiles.
The article quotes Kenny Dobson and he doesn't sound all that optimistic. Kenny is as good of a race promoter as there is and if he's worried I think maybe we all should be concerned. I personally will pay the added tax albeit grudgingly, but there are plenty of fans, especially families that can't/won't pay the added tax.
I was born, raised, educated, make my living and probably will die in Illinois but this has to be the $hittiest state in the union to live. Well, maybe not quite as bad as New York and California, but close. Highest property taxes in the country, crookedest politicians, etc., etc., etc. I do not wish to be political here but the politics of this crap affects every last one of us that hangs out here!
