At 9:15 this morning the U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition of the Casinos concerning the impact fee. This means that the eighty million + dollars that is being held in escrow will be released in about 10 days. In addition the casinos are currently and will continue to pay 3% into the horse equity trust fund for the next three years. This means so much to so many hard working people. I grateful that I had the chance to play a small part in getting the bill passed.
