Racinos Will Create Thousands of Jobs in Minnesota

Racino legislation in the state of Minnesota will create and save thousands of jobs within the state's agricultural industries. A recent news release issued by Pennsylvania's Secretary of Agriculture, Russell C. Redding, touted racinos as economic drivers.

"Pennsylvania has gained national recognition for its quality horse and harness racing thanks to the support provided by Act 71," said Redding. "The addition of gaming at racetracks has exponentially increased purses paid to winning horses, allowing us to attract prestigious competitors and grow Pennsylvania's racing industry. We must continue to work to ensure the positive effects of Act 71 are felt throughout the racing industry."

Redding added that Act 71 also encouraged investment in new farms, breeding stock, equipment, veterinary services and agricultural production, strengthening Pennsylvania's agricultural community.

"In kind, the evidence is clear that the success of legalized slot machine and table gaming has reinvigorated the horse racing industry and had a positive effect on Pennsylvania's agriculture industry."

Now is the time for Minnesota to reap the economic benefits that racinos provide. Contact your legislators today!
