The tax battle has already been a bit of a seven years war to this point. They aren't just starting. Peggy Hendershot, who is the NTRA's senior vice president of legislative affairs, has already carried the ball about 97 yards on the drive for the tax reform, and getting a house resolution drawn was a huge achievement already. Now it needs to get passed. Legislators need to be educated as to the nuanced benefits of changing these tax laws...

I'm not sure that the ADW scenario is an area where anyone but the business concerns involved (platforms-tracks-horsemen) can craft a solution. The best we can do as a horseplaying community is loudly and firmly voice our frustration to the parties involved... make them understand that they are losing our interest by acting as if our money is taken for granted.
