You always want someone in the room when the decisions are made.
That’s the role a good co-sponsor of your bill can play.
Today, I wanted someone in the room when the questions are asked.
So I asked a committee member who understood my issue to raise the subject.
By chance, I ran into one of the witnesses before the hearing.
So I asked him the question myself.
“What’s the status of the new stables planned for Pimlico Race Track?”
He said he would get back to me after discussing the matter with someone who knew more than he did.
Did you ever receive a response to this question? From what I understood, under the 10 year agreement, Pimlico was to get about the same number of stalls as Laurel Park–300 stalls. Laurel was to get TWO 150-stall barns. They are on barn number three (3) and have plans for a huge barn that will coast $6 million.
