And I guess if NYRA wasn't running this, there would be no property tax and no pari-mutuel tax? LOL.

Do you really just make up things and have absolutely no clue. My FACTS, come from the government report on NYRA, where do yours come from?

I am a senior in college and I think you are the one who might need to take the GED.

FACTS. STICK TO THEM.

The State cut taxes to help the racing industry. As a result of those changes and increased out-of-state betting on NYRA races via simulcast, NYRA’s gross handle increased from $2.8 billion in 1997 to $3.5 billion in 2001, an increase of almost 25 percent. Meanwhile, State pari-mutuel tax revenues fell almost in half, from $18.6 million in 1997 to $9.9 million in 2001.

$3.5 billion in handle and a whopping 9.9 million went to the state.

Not to get off the subject but are you actually rooting for the state to get more money? Just wait until you graduate from college (ITT Tech?) and get out into the real world and see what the state will do for you.
