With Texas budget crisis, odds may be in gambling's favor
Hoppe reports:
AUSTIN – Horse racing backers have put their money on a different kind of race this season, betting millions on candidates with some hope of expanding gambling at Texas tracks. The state's scramble for new revenue to fill its expected $18 billion budget hole has given gaming interests their best chance in a decade to overcome legislative opposition. And that's drawn an interesting mix of donors trying to bankroll election day winners.
