$5,594,667
But the Horsemen HBPA and MTOBA had to deliver a Check to the MGCB in order to Race this weekend. Horse Racing GENERATES THIS MONEY. BUT WE CAN’T TOUCH A DIME OF IT.
The State of Michigan and The Michigan Gaming Control Board has now resorted to Extortion.
Governor Granholm should hang her head in SHAME.
