The governor of Rhode Island, Don Carcieri, has already made his position clear regarding a Bill that would expand greyhound gambling at Twin River. The governor has vetoed the legislation, but that will not stop lawmakers from moving forward with the plan.
Lawmakers are expected to override the veto and ensure that racing at the track would be increased from 125 days, to 200 days a year. The track is in bankruptcy, but lawmakers believe that no more jobs can be lost in Rhode Island.
(In place of the dog racing, more states have moved towards casino gambling to fill the revenue gap. There are more casinos in the US now than ever in history, and that number is growing by the month).
