10-Nov-05. Liberal Party not opposed to horse racing. Lethbridge Herald, B2.

This article reports that Alberta’s Liberal Caucus does not object to the horse racing industry but they do have concerns regarding the generous deal that Horse Racing Alberta got from the provincial government. Specifically, Liberal MLA and gaming critic Maurice Tougas points out that 51 per cent of racino revenue, after operator’s fees, goes to Horse Racing Alberta. Overall, it is reported that gaming has become the second-highest form of revenue in the province, following gas and ahead of oil.
