Indiana Open Wheel - View Single Post - Ohio's Issue 3 Passes. How Does That Affect the 'burg?

Seadog · 11/5/09, 9:27 AM

Issue 3 passed in Ohio on Tuesday. There will be 4 casinos built in Ohio, one of which will be in Cincinnati. I've heard that officials in Indiana estimate a $250,000,000 loss of revenue there. We in Cincinnati will not travel much if at all to the three Indiana casinos on the river starting in 2012 if we have one in our back yard.

With that said, will the loss of revenue spell the end of capital improvements at Lawrenceburg Speedway? I know the 'burg can't get much better than it is now, but will this foil any plans to upgrade the track more if the tax money starts to dwindle?
