In keeping with this object, we have decided to take a stand opposing parimutuel gambling in Utah because of what we believe could be the detrimental effects on the children and families of our state. We dont want to put any child in the situation of not having a meal because of wages lost in gambling, or families bring tom apart because of the consequences of compulsive gambling. We feel the costs of these social ills far outweigh the possible temporary financial gain promised by parimutuel proponents. Following is some of the information on which the PTA has based its decision. Horse race betting was allowed in Utah up until 1 9 1 3 when concerns over corruption and crime caused it to be oudawed. It was temporarily reestablished in 1925 but outlawed in 1927 due to concerns over corruptions of the horse racing commission, loss of support from the business community, and what were seen as detrimental effects of parimutuel on the morale of the community, according to the Utah Historical Quarterly, Winter of 1989. It has been banned ever since. There have been differing opinions on how much revenue parimutuel would bring into out state. The Utah Foundation, a private, nonprofit public service research organization, after comparing similar states and similar circumstances, has estimated the following figures: Pre-Birthd- 9 528-794- 8 at the home of Nancy and Danny Boore for relatives and friends.

She was very talented at writing PTA .9 If the Utah Horse Racing Commission costs more to support than the estimated $208,601, extra fees may have to be charged or the Legislature must appropriate more money for them from the general fund. No other western state has been abler to run their commission on this low of an amount. There are only two states in the county that have no form of gambling - Hawaii and Utah. There are 2 states in the nation that have only parimutuel betting. There are 36 states in the nation that started out with parimutuel and now have legalized other forms of gambling. If parimutuel gambling on horse racing is legalized in Utah, it would almost certainly throw Utah into the type of controversy recently debated in th Idaho Legislature. Under the Federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, Indian tribes are allowed to conduct any gambling that is allowed by a state. Since parimutuel is classed by the federal government as a class three type of gambling, the Indian reservations may be able to establish poker and casino games, which are also included in the same category. The PTA adds that It is important that our members study this initiative and go to the polls this November as informed voters.

Crop er speaks about gambling that Utahs parimutuel gambling initiative won t require a tax subsidy for a new horse racing commission. The racing industry is in a phase of decline, Frank Labrum, executive director of the Wyoming Parimutuel Commission told Utah Citizens Against Parimutuel Gambling spokesman this week. New racing states that have jumped on board in the last few years have found out that its just not that easy to get started, he said. At a recent political appearance sponsored by Gambling proponents, Idaho Racing Commission Director Duayne Didericksen, said Idahos horse racing commission operates in the black. Consequently, Didericksen said that a horse racing commission required under Utahs parimutuel gambling initiative could also operate profitably. Under the Utah initiative, 1 percent ot gambling revenue is supposed to fund the horse racing commission. Lamb, however, countered that the only reason Idaho pays for its commission with gambling revenues is because it offers simulcast gambling, which is prohibited under the Utah initiative. Agriculture Report Prices received by Utah farmers were and ranchers in Wyoming Parimutuel Commission director A parimutuel expert disputed a horse racing officials recent claims & Idaho was experiencing some budget problems with their commission a couple of years ago before their simulcast kicked in. When they started simulcasting they started enjoying the surplus funds, he said. Idahos legislature authorized simulcast betting allowing patrons to bet on televised horse races from around the country - in 1991. Lamb said Wyomings experience with its horse racing commission is similar. If we didnt have simulcasting or off track betting regulations in our law, theres no way we could regulate live racing, he said. Lamb added that in Wyoming, off track betting generated $6.4 million while live, on track betting generated only $5.4 million in gambling activity in 1991. Additionally, Lamb said Wyoming dedicates a larger portion of gambling revenues to fund its commission that does Utah. Idaho also generates substantial gambling revenue to help fund its horse racing commission from dog racing, which is also prohibited by Utahs gambling initiative. Thats another thing they get revenue off of that doesnt cost them near as much to regulate, Lamb said, adding that Idaho dog racing generated $19 million in betting activity in 1991. - -- up from the previous month for steers and heifers, but down for cows, calves, lambs, sheep and alfalfa hay according to the Utah Agricultural Statistics Service.
